How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

Coverage, updates and corrections

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

Grade 3: 2026 badge-test tables and transition notices

Version boundary: required elements change on 1 October 2026. Free-skating requirements apply from 1 July 2026, with specific transition provisions. Earlier collected requirements elsewhere on this page must not be treated as a fully updated 2026 syllabus.

Read the grade-3 row in both the required-elements and free-skating tables. The bracket-step task moves to grade 4 from 1 October 2026. The September notice governs candidates with outstanding tasks; it is not a blanket exemption from the whole grade.

Working English: required elements and steps from page 1

Not independently translation-reviewed. Original technical codes are retained.

  1. Single Axel Paulsen jump.
  2. Any double jump.
  3. Jump combination, at least double + single. The double may be the same type as the separate double jump.
  4. Camel spin, at least five revolutions.
  5. Flying spin, at least five revolutions; position and landing foot are optional.
  6. Spin combination without change of foot, at least six revolutions, including camel and sit positions with at least two revolutions in each.
  7. Set pattern: backward change-edge half-circle; starting foot drawn.
  8. Set pattern: forward one-foot snaking; starting foot drawn.
  9. Set pattern: backward one-foot snaking, on the opposite foot from the forward task.

The complete original table pages are shown below. OCR is only a finding aid: it can omit characters and entire lines, especially in tables. The source image takes precedence. English extraction of the separate free programmes, general assessment rules and transition notices is incomplete.

Clarifications that must be read with the tables

Working English, not independently reviewed: the 19 July notice says badge-test step sequences at every grade are assessed through GOE. Absence of two difficult turns or steps is not, by itself, the ISU no-value trigger in these badge tests.
