The mock grading is the best way to see if you are ready to go for the real grading.
It is conducted with the same formality and procedure and will help the student best prepare themselves for the real grading one and a half weeks later.
All students will receive written feedback to help them improve.
If you cannot make the mock grading in person then please speak to Master Shillabeer and we will try to accommodate you. You can also send videos via WhatsApp of you doing the grading syllabus (see the back page of your grading pack) – same cost…£7. I can then assess and see if you are ready to be put forward for the formal grading.
Non attendance of the mock grading/no video submission means you are much less likely to be be put forward for the formal grading. Please attend if possible.
Any questions please ask.
Thanks, Master Shillabeer
