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.

2026 NZIFSA Rules and Regulations – 1 Jan 2026 500-1 500 SECTION - TESTS 501 ORDER OF TESTS All Standard tests are to be taken in numerical order. Competitive tests (obtained before 2017) will make the skater eligible to take the standard test required for the next grade (e.g. Skaters holding the Junior Competitive test may take the Inter-Gold test in that discipline whether or not they hold Silver) 502 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 502.1 Test fees will be set by the Board each year, and will include the cost of a medal and/or certificate. The General Secretary will supply Clubs with a current list of fees. All costs incurred in the taking of any test will be the responsibility of the Club and/or skater concerned and shall not be the responsibility of the Association. 502.2 All candidates for tests conducted under the rules of the Association must be members in good standing with an affiliated Club and hold a current NZIFSA T/C Registration Number. 502.3 Applications (with fees) for tests are to be made by the candidates to their Club Secretary/ Test Competition Secretary no later than twenty-one days prior to the proposed test date or less at the discretion of the Club Test/Competition Secretary. Application forms for tests must be signed by a Level 2, 3, or 4 NZIFSA accredited coach, as well as a parent or caregiver (or skater if 18+) and their Home Club Secretary / Test Competition Secretary. Apprentice Level 2 coaches must have the test form co￾signed by their mentor. 502.4 It is the responsibility of the Club Secretary/Test Coordinator or representative to arrange the ice time for the tests and advise the NZIFSA Test / Competition Secretary or representative who shall arrange the Judges and a Referee, who may be one of the Judges. Clubs may find their own judges, however, the NZIFSA T/C Secretary must be notified of all scheduled test sessions and the judges they are proposing to use so that these can be approved. Failure to comply with Rule 502.4 could result in test(s) being considered invalid. 502.5 On completion of the tests it shall be the responsibility of the Referee to collect all Judges' sheets (including passes and failures) and hand these to the Club Secretary/Test Coordinator or representative for completion of a test summary form to be sent within seven days to the NZIFSA Test/Competition Secretary. The skater and/or their Coach (named on the test form) has the right to request a copy of the judges’ sheets for that skater from the club TC Secretary. The request must be made within 10 days following the test. Payment shall be made to the skater’s home club and then Clubs will be invoiced for the test fees by the NZIFSA. 502.6 Additional tests may be taken (time permitting) at the discretion of the Referee provided the completed test application and appropriate fees have been lodged with the Club Secretary/Test Coordinator or representative. 502.7 A candidate failing a test must wait for three weeks before taking the test again except that in extenuating circumstances, the NZIFSA Test/ Competition Secretary may set a date less than three weeks. 502.8 A candidate not appearing at the appointed time for their test must send their reason for not appearing in writing to the NZIFSA Test/Competition Secretary within seven days after the test date.
