Your association's syllabus. The syllabus for each grade, the time or sessions between gradings, age limits and who may examine are your association's rules and your instructor's call. This is the record of what was attempted and what was awarded.
Write-on lines: Student · Club / dojo · Style / discipline · Instructor · Association · Licence / member no. · Started training · Current grade · Licence runs out · Insurance runs out · Membership runs out · Medical / consent form dated
Table, 11 rows: Date · Grade attempted · Awarded · Examiner · Venue · Result / examiner's note · Cert. no.
