I really hate to admit this, but I paid $450 for my testing. Quite frankly I dont have a paying this amount. I have a problem when everyone who tested passed, when, obviously they dont deserve it.
I don't know about your situation, but I think that this is all too often part and parcel of high testing fees. It's hard to accept that much money and then say no to a person--and, they may demand their cash back in that case. That's why it's nice for the instructor not to have a cash incentive for passing someone.

How much does your school charge for a 1st dan certificate/test?

In Israel, the physical belt costs about $7, until you need to buy a black one, which costs $22. Does this happen in other countries too?
Our school makes it's money in the tuition I think. They don't charge us for tests.

No charge for the test in my school.



You give all you have in energy, talent, skill, courage and maybe a little blood and if you pass ( no guarantee) I hand you the Black Belt (that I paid for) and Cert.
