Well I have a friend whose in some hot water right now for a similar thing. He's a 2nd dan black belt in TKD. A friend of mine about 18 months ago asked him to test him (my friend) as a black belt 1st dan. He stupidly said yes. Well that's a mistake and dishonest. 1) he asked and my friend said yes 2) He was gonna go through with it, but luckly things came up and he had forgotten about it until just a few days ago. He dishonest himself by sayng yes. He never tested, but did pay the fee for the certificate and licensing. My friend got caught by his instructor and the organization he's apart of. Now He's facing a pretty big integrity problem both from my friend and by his instructor.... Pretty big consequences for that mistake.
Here's the bottom line, Unless your certified to do something by someone. Either dont do it yourself, or wait until your certified fully. OR just go do your own thing. But it's not worth self-promotion or favoritism promotion.. DO NOT ASK!!!
