I. Explanation:
Students under the age of 15 years old will receive what is called a “Poom Certificate” when they achieve 1st Degree Black Belt. Students above the age of 15 years old will receive a “Dan Certificate” when they achieve 1st Degree Black Belt.
A student can achieve 1st Poom, then 2nd Poom, then 3rd Poom under the age of 15 years old. Then, when the student turns 15 years old, he or she can simply convert the Poom to the equal rank, Dan.
So for example, A 12-year-old having 2nd Degree “Poom Certificate”, will be a 2nd Degree “Dan Certificate” when he or she turns 15 years old.
If a child achieves 4th Poom Black Belt, then that student will need to wait till they turn 18 years old to convert that 4th Poom to a 4th Dan.
