Grading

The minimum waiting time between gradings is based on a minimum of 2 training sessions per week. Students only attending 1 class per week should double their minimum waiting time.

It is a UKTA requirement for all students to attend an area Master’s seminar every six months. There are noramally 4 such seminars arranged each year.

Your blue UKTA membership book must be brought to all seminars & gradings in order that the conducting Master or Instructor may sign as necessary.
