\nBeing registered is not a guarantee that the Candidate will take the Grade Examination.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

TRAINING SCHEDULE
\n<\/span><\/strong>Dan Grade Candidates should be training at their own Club twice weekly (where possible) and at least once a fortnight at another Club\u00a0with one of the Association Senior Grades (4th<\/sup> Dan & Above).
\nIt is at these additional sessions that your Training Record card needs to be signed. \u00a0Candidates will be expected to attend any courses or assessments organised by the Dan Grade Panel<\/p>\n

FINAL ASSESSMENT \/ PRE-GRADE COURSE
\n<\/span><\/strong>The Final Assessment of candidates will take place 4-6 weeks prior to the Dan Grading.
\nOnly those students who meet the standards set by the WBK Senior Grades will then be allowed to continue with the training program, including the week-long Dan Grade Course and onto the Dan grading itself.
\nStudents who are assessed as not yet ready to grade will be forwarded as Candidates for the next Dan Grading later in the year.<\/p>\n

The Decision on which student goes onto the pre-grade course and attempt their Dan Grade is made by the Dan Grade Examiners and their decision is final.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
