Explore learning programmes and tests across fifteen countries. Read published elements, compare pathways and search the official evidence in one place.
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.
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.
2026 NZIFSA rules, effective 1 January 2026. The full level-specific section is shown below. General test rules also apply. A reference to ISU requirements is not a complete element list until the incorporated rules are checked.
