New Grading System
New Grading System - Applies from Sept 2017
N1 will be up to 1999 Local Points.
B2 2000 to 4999 Local Points. (Holding less than 1 Nat Point)
B1 5000 to 9999 Local Points. (Holding less than 2 Nat Points)
A2 10000 to 24999 Local Points. (Holding less than 5 Nat Points)
A1 25000 to less than 10 National Points.
Note: 5000 Local Points = 1 National Point
Cards will be issued in September using the old grading system. When you get your card you may apply to be regraded using the new system if you wish. This must be done through your Club Secretary who will pass on the request to the Regional Secretary.
If you get a B2 card and hold less than 2000 local points you may apply to be regraded to N1 (provided it is less than 5 years since you took your first lesson).
If you get a B1 card and hold less than 1 National Point (5000 Local Points) you may apply to be regraded to B2.
If you get an A2 card and hold less than 2 National Points (10000 Local Points) you may apply to be regraded to B1.
If you get an A1 card and hold less than 5 National Points (25000 Local Points) you may apply to be regraded to A2.
If you get a Regional Master card and hold less than 40 National Points you may apply to be regraded to Area Master.
All these gradings are optional - if you don't apply they will not happen.
