About this course

  • Course Level

    This course contains three USA Taekwondo Degree Level courses, suitable for all but recommended for black belt athletes aged 12 and up. As you complete each level you will receive a framed diploma and exclusive apparel relevant to your level. As you pass each specific section within the degree curriculum you will be able to download a certificate related to that topic.

  • Course Duration

    It will take 1 year to complete this series of courses. Lessons will be broken up into weekly sections, with a short break between each level. New lessons are released every seven days from sign up until you have completed the entire curriculum. You can take the course at your own pace, if it takes you longer to complete that's fine. Don't rush through it, take time to practise each lesson.

  • Course Assessment

    As you progress you will need to pass a quiz about what you just learned in each video. Once you have completed all the lessons and quizzes you will take a final exam made up of a written section and a practical exam, where you will submit a video demonstrating what you have learned, which will be graded by University coaches. This final examination determines whether you pass or fail.
