Zenten Aikido has direct permission from the Aikikai Foundation to test its students and register them within its foundation, which world headquarter is in Tokyo. By testing and becoming a member of the Aikikai, your child will be able to train in any Aikikai-affiliated dojos around the world and have their grading (colored belt) recognized.
