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.

This time must be clearly identified on the schedule. • Conditional Assessments: Conditional assessments occur when a skater is required to pass a subsequent assessment before being able to attempt the next one. Conditional assessments must be properly identified on the schedule. • Planned Program Sheets: Planned program sheets for both Artistic and Freeskate program assessments should be provided to the evaluator prior to the assessment day. Planned program sheets for Artistic should include any transitional elements to further assist the evaluator in element identification. • Dances: Identify the steps to be performed by the skater (lead or follow) along with the type of performance (solo, shadow, partnered). If a shadow dance format is being utilized, ensure the evaluator has been informed as to which skater is to be assessed. • Skater Name & Skate Canada Numbers: Full names and Skate Canada numbers should be included on the schedule to facilitate the preparation of the assessment sheets. • Scheduling strategies: Assessment coordinators may group multiple dance levels into the same warm-up or group all program assessments. Assessment coordinators may also manipulate the order of skate to allow breaks for skaters attempting multiple assessments.
