Promoting a student to the next rank

Promotions are a big day for students. QuickKicks gives you three ways to record one. By default, owners, admins and instructors can promote and approve. Front desk staff can't.

Promote directly

1. Open the student's profile and go to their progress section.
2. Use Promote or correct the belt and choose the promotion to the next rank.
3. Confirm the date and save. The new rank is active right away and the family gets a congratulations email.

Recommend, then approve

Use this when you want a second person to sign off.

1. Go to Inbox › Promotions and open Ready to test. It lists students who have met every requirement for their next rank.
2. Tap Recommend next to a student.
3. The recommendation waits under Promotions (the menu shows a count). Someone with promotion rights taps Approve or Reject.
4. Approving updates the student's rank immediately, resets their stripe count and sends the congratulations email. Rejecting deletes the recommendation; the reason is kept in the audit log.

Through a rank test

Schedule a test in Inbox › Promotions › Tests, register students, then record results on the runsheet. Recording Pass promotes the student right away and emails the family. There is no separate approval step.

Certificates

Certificates are not created automatically. Issue them from the rank test runsheet, or from the student's profile. You need a certificate template, which an owner or admin sets up in Admin › Settings › Certificates. Families can then download it in the parent portal under Certificates.

What the family sees

• A congratulations email with the new rank.
• The new rank on their child's Progress page in the parent portal.
• Any certificate you issue, under Certificates in the portal.

Fixing a mistake

On the student's profile, use Correct to set the right rank. Correct fixes the rank without recording a promotion or sending an email.
