'International' certificates must meet FAI standards.

Most national certificates meet or exceed these standards. BPA has different standards to the FAI ones - if you apply for a 'British' FAI license it is not the same as an international one... but you can apply for an international one as well if you are travelling abroad from the UK... clear as mud??

See Operations Manual, Section 2, Paragraph 2

I don't know if any other countries have a similar system or if they follow FAI standards.

Back around 2000, Harro Trempano (sp?) - former president of CSPA - researched and wrote an new set of licensing standards for the FAI.
Canada adopted Harro's recommendations, but other countries either ignored him or slightly modified (eg. USA) standards just enough to confuse the rest of the planet.
Why USPA needs slightly different standards is a mystery to me????
Is it a case of "not invented here?"

Similarly, a few years back the European Union tried to write one standard for certifying parachute riggers. Unfortunately, pride and arrogance and "protection of privileges" inferred and the process collapsed.

Considering how many young skydivers like to vacation in other countries, it would be simple and sensible and logical to have one global standard for skydiving licenses.
