No ticket is a legal requirement only really there to gauge ability and for insurance purposes. but I'd suggest getting the cs30 and 31 as they teach you a lot and a good trainer can make a good cutter. And give you enough of an idea to work out the safe way to approach things with out just trying to scare you.
