Special Notes

Examiner’s comment

The standard is very high in particularly the senior grades and I can see all had worked very hard to achieve the results they deserved.  Consistence can be maintained through regular training and those with A pass may able to take the next available grading if the instructor sees fit, providing the minimum lessons required between grades is adhered to.
