Dear Guys,
This question is primarily for the Instructors on the forum, but I certainly welcome the input of the 2nd and 3rd Degrees that may soon be making these decisions themselves.
My question is How important is a certificate when welcoming a new students into your dojang. I am not referencing a competition standpoint, but rather your determination of rank placement.
If the students has no verifiable certification from any major organization and a relatively unknown instructor but has significant quality for his rank is that good enough?
On the flip side, if you are an organizational affiliate and the student has proper paperwork, but seriously lacks technical ability for his rank would you honor that certificate, or would you file a complaint with the organization and request the student start your club at a more appropriate rank?
Just how much does a certificate mean to you?
TAE-KWON!
