Grading tests are conducted four times a year allowing members to be formally tested for their knowledge of the different curriculum for their specific belt levels. Passing the Grading test will enable the members to progress to the next level. Within each belt category, a stripe represent another level achieved. Transition levels from white, yellow, blue, red to black tip may be made available to some members before they progress to the next rank or belt category if required to assist with further training and development.

Black Belts then continue on to 4th Dan to 10th Dan being the highest level as a Master in Taekwondo

Refer to the Calendar of Events for the Grading Schedule.

Prior to each Grading, members will be advised if they are eligible for Grading and will be provided a Grading Invitation with an attached Grading Consent Form and the Fee Payment Envelope. The Grading Consent Form and Grading Fee payment are to be submitted in the envelope provided to the Head Instructor a week before the Grading day for booking purposes. Members are required to wear their full Taekwondo uniform (dobok) and belt (dee) during Grading. Protective equipment should be worn for sparring. Taekwondo shoes are recommended to be worn except during sparring. Late arrivals will not be permitted to grade. Non-completion of Grading test due to early departure prior of end of Grading test constitutes failure. 

A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to successful members a few days after each Grading.
