It's basicly the same. 1st poom is for People under 15. Dan is above. The training at the test is almost the same.

What is the difference between poom and dan grade in Tae Kwon Do?
The difference between a poom grade and a dan grade is not skill but age. Eastern philosophy places a great deal of importance and value on the experience of age. A second degree poom and a second degree dan may posses the same skills, but the dan is an adult and the poom is a child, and that makes a difference and that difference is emphasized in their rank. Poom ranks can be converted to dan ranks when the person is past 15 years of age.
Is an 8 year old blackbelt called a dan or a poom in Tae Kwon Do?
The answer to this question depends on the official recognition of Taekwondo rank in Korea, or arbitrary rank established by and independent organization, or often times, an uncertified instructor. Since Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art, the terminology is based not only on the Korean language, but the official headquarters of Taekwondo world-wide. According to the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul, Korea), the correct answer is poom 품. The following is from their website: "Kukkiwon Regulations: Article 8 : Time & Age Limits for Poom or Dan Promotion 1st Poom Less than 15 Years Old 1st Dan 15years and above " In the Korean language, the terms "geup" and "dan" are both defined in the dictionary as meaning a grade level. In the profession of Taekwondo, these terms have been officially used to mean "grade of the color belt" and "Degree of the Black Belt for age 15 and older" respectively. The term "geup" 급 (sometimes written as "gup") means a "grade" and is used for the color belt for all ages from the beginner white belt "mu geup" (meaning "no grade," or sometimes "sip geup" for 10th grade) and counting down to "Il geup" or 1st Grade. The term "Dan" 단 (pronounced "dahn" like the name "Don") means "Degree" and is reserved for students age 15 and older. Although any school who wants to make up their own ranks and titles, and not follow the Korean guidelines might choose to call a child under the age of 15 a "Black Belt" or a certain "Dan" rank (IE: 1st Degree, 2nd Degree, 3rd Degree, etc.) this is an unauthorized practice usually used to appease the parent and children who do not understand the seriousness of authentic training, and the significance of legitimate credentials. Some modern instructors cave in to this pressure and let the children wear full Black Belts, and call them a "Dan" rank. If their certificate comes from the Kukkiwon in Korea, it should say "Poom" and not "Dan," and they should wear the traditional half-red/half-black belt with the same red/black color on their v-neck uniform. Modern independent organizations outside of Korea often do whatever they want, and change the belts, uniform design and trim color, as well as titles for junior black belts.

What is a 15 year old student of Tae Kwon Do with a 2nd poom called?
According to the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul, Korea), 1st, 2nd, and 3rd pum holders, being 15 years of age or above, is the same grade of Dan holder, However, a 15 year old student with a 2nd pum (poom) is called a 2nd pum. They must transfer their rank to 2nd dan in order to be called that. Depending on the association, children under a certain age are not allowed to be recognized with the adult rank of "dan" (Degree of the Black Belt). According to the requirements of the Kukkiwon, a student under the age of 15 may test for 1st through 3rd pum (Junior Black Belt). Once the student reaches the age of 15, they may pay to have their rank transferred to an adult "dan" rank, or continue to test for pum levels until the age of 18. Ordinarily, a student must be 16 before testing for a 2nd Dan, however a 2nd pum may transfer to 2nd Dan at the age of 15. However, if they have not yet transferred their rank, then they are still called a 2nd pum, regardless of their age. The required age for 3rd Dan is 18, however a 15 year old 3rd pum may transfer their rank to 3rd Dan. The student must be 18 before they can test for 4th pum, if three years have passed since they became 3rd pum. At that time, they may transfer their 4th pum to 4th Dan at the age of 18.
Why do you have to be 16 for TAGB 2nd dan?
Asia culture places a great deal of value on age. In most schools a child needs to be of a certain age to attain the more advanced rankings, especially at the black belt levels. You have to show experience, training, wisdom, and other factors that cannot be attained at an earlier age. Young people who put in the time and training sufficient to earn a dan rank are often presented with an equivalent poom rank which can be converted to a dan rank following their sixteenth birthday.

The only places on the Internet with this information would be the Kukkiwon website for checking Kukkiwon registered Dan or Poom rank, or if your instructor or organization has a website of their own, then they might have records such as this available online. If your Black Belt Dan rank was certified by the Kukkiwon, you can look it up on the internet, or contact them for a copy of your certificate. If you are returning to training after a lengthy absence, then your taekwondo instructor can evaluate your skills, and make an appropriate rank assignment.
