Rating Classes?

Hi there!

What rating must you be to become a grandmaster, master, etc. My rating on this site is currently 1336, so does that make me a class D player? Can anyone help?

Titles such as Grandmaster, Internation Master, etc. are granted by FIDE. http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=B0101

RHP ratings are meaningful only for play at RHP.
