All applicants are vetted as they may work unsupervised teaching vulnerable individuals. The BKMA has an exemption from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. We require a full enhanced disclosure from every applicant. Allowances are made for minor or old issues.

Typically applicants will have Brown Belt or above. We will consider applications from Military or Police applicants without formal training however conditions 3 - 7 still apply.
