Qualification and grading options

JKA England lists Dan grading from 1st to 5th Dan and international examinations for Instructor C/D, Judge C/D and Examiner D. Candidates must follow the page’s attendance and pre-registration rules: those grading must train at the course, and some Dan or qualification attempts require attendance across all three days.
