Can you post a website perhaps?

Good for insurance, good as an association, or a good sign for students looking at clubs?

I know one major Mcdojo who grades through them, not worth the paper the certs are written on.

Approved Disciplines
MMA (but no cage fighting)

Non Approved Disciplines

Cage Fighting
No connection to Martial Arts
Shoot Fighting
Use of live bladed weapons

Approved Sports:
Jazz Dancin Kayaking Lacrosse Latin Dancing

 

But MMA in a ring is good to go, right? What about plexiglass walls or Bloodsport style platforms?

And what's with the "approved sports"? Do they hold kayaking and jazz dancing gradings or something?

 

Look at this...

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time taking them seriously when they're based in an English-speaking country that can't be bothered to use the language correctly.
