Rank PromotionsThe Bartlett and Raleigh ATA Black Belt Academies hold promotional testings approximately every eight weeks. These testings are judged by certified instructors. The judges' scores are submitted to ATA headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas, to insure that uniform standards are applied in ATA schools worldwide. Based on the judges' assessments, headquarters issues new ranks and printed certificates to each student, and these ranks are respected by every ATA school in the world. At testings and in class, the emphasis is on individual accomplishment rather than competition or comparisons with other students. All students are encouraged to fulfill their potential -- to achieve "personal victories" -- and when they test for rank promotions they are judged on that basis alone. |
