The approved packing courses is for skydivers who want to learn to pack their own parachutes, this is not a mandatory requirement as any parachute chief instructor can endorse a skydiving lob book to say they are allowed to do so.

However if they want to pack parachutes belonging to other skydivers they have to qualify or if they want to progress onto a reserve parachute qualification they have to be qualified as a parachute packer for at least 12 months.
