I've had my senior rigging ticket for appx. 4 yrs and done nearly 700 pack jobs (very busy since the time I earned my rating). I agree with Rob buy the books in advance, do some pre-course studying and packing under supervision, but still take the course. There are several good courses offered which all give much information that is hard to get from just a single rigger. I've never regretted spending the money or the time that I spent at the course. I've since went back to help instruct as well. The major advantage of the course is you build yourself a network of support. Good luck on getting the rating. Its a lot of work, but fun if you like detail.

I have made it my policy not to get on chat groups, but someone phoned me and brought this issue to my attention. I have been a “small volume” dealer with Mirage Systems for a few years, and whenever there has been a mistake or delay, Mirage went out of their way to correct the problem. Bill Hallett has bent over backwards to “make the customer happy” and, in my experience, has handled issues graciously. Perhaps dealing with a company directly is a better method, than bashing them in a public forum. Just food for thought.
