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 4: 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 both grade-4 table rows, including separate women’s and men’s spin provisions. The September notice addresses outstanding tasks. The free-skating flying-spin transition condition runs through 30 September 2026.

Working English: required elements and steps from page 1

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

  1. Double toe loop.
  2. Double Salchow.
  3. Double loop.
  4. Jump combination, double + double. Jump types may repeat the three preceding jump tasks.
  5. Women: layback or sideways-leaning spin, without change of foot, at least five revolutions. Men: sit spin and back upright spin, at least five revolutions each.
  6. Change-foot spin combination, at least six revolutions on each foot; include sit and upright positions, at least two revolutions in each.
  7. Set pattern: bracket-turn steps; outside or inside drawn.
  8. Set pattern: open choctaw and three-turn steps.
  9. Set pattern: forward twizzle steps; outside or inside drawn.
  10. Set pattern: backward twizzle steps; outside or inside drawn.

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.
