Licences
When Joining Central Karate Schools a licence fee is payable of £43. This afilliates the student to Central Karate Schools and insures the student against serious injury. The licence booklet is an official grading record, which is used to record grading results and courses that are attended. It is the students or parents responsibility (If under 16 years of age) to make sure that the licence is renewed on time.
Important Note: When paying for the licences online you can only pay for 1 student at a time, because each students details have to be entered individually in the checkout section.  (i.e. Siblings have to be paid for separately)
