A dubbing ceremony.
The ceremony in which a squire becomes a knight is called a dubbing ceremony.
During the ceremony when a squire becomes a knight, known as "dubbing," the squire is typically called before a lord or a knight. The ceremony often includes a symbolic gesture, such as the lord tapping the squire on the shoulder with a sword, signifying his new status. The squire may also take an oath of loyalty and chivalry. This rite of passage marks his transition from a young servant to a fully-fledged knight, ready to uphold the values of knighthood.

The Squire not only helped the Knight get ready for battle, but he also fought in battle with him. The Squire also went everywhere the Knight went to learn the values of Chivalry, and how to be a Knight, so when knighting season came the Squire would be Dubbed a Knight and he would be granted a Squire of his own.
A knight was the backbone of Medieval warfare. He was he equivalent of tanks, today, providing speed and shock. A boy would usually serve as a Squire (knight's assistant) until around 21 years old. If chosen for knighthood, he usually went thru' a religious Vigil, and specific instruction of How to Be a Knight. On the day, he was presented to another knight or lord, or his king. The actual ceremony of dubbing had the prospective knight kneeling, and being struck (lightly) on the shoulder with the flat of a sword, and being proclaimed Knight. In later days, knighting was the exclusive right of the king. On occasion, a soldier or squire would so distinguish himself on the field of battle, that he would be knighted virtually on the spot. The modern equivalent is a "battlefield commission," where an enlisted man is made an officer.
A knight dubbing ceremony was a formal ritual in the Middle Ages that marked the transition of a squire to the rank of knight. This event typically involved the squire kneeling before a lord or a senior knight, who would then tap the squire on the shoulders with a sword, symbolizing the conferral of knighthood. The ceremony often included oaths of loyalty and could be accompanied by feasting and celebrations, signifying the squire's new responsibilities and status within the feudal system.

A squire was to do his duty and to give the master of the castle (the king) what he wanted. The squire had to meditate on what it involved to become a knight, there was a big feast held in his honor. He would receive gifts and the King would perform a ceremony with his sword to grant the squire his knighthood.
There were three stages. At 8 or 9 a boy began knighthood training learning archery, fencing, and horsemanship. At 15 he became a page and learned from a knight battle techniques, how to care for horses, hunting, falconry, and how to act like a gentleman. At 18 he became a squire. He was allowed to wear silver spurs and go into combat with the knight who trained him. He was also bodyguard and carried his master's armor and shield. He had to prove himself worthy before made into a knight. Some squires never made it to knighthood. At 21 the squire became a knight in a simple ceremony.
