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 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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 12 Descriptions, Diagrams and Mandatory Requirements STAR 1 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 1 Forward Edges Definition of element: A series of forward edges (minimum four) performed on an axis. This element must include both forward outside and forward inside edges. Definition of edge: May refer either to part of the skate blade, or the visible tracing of a skate blade on one foot that is on one curve. An edge may be either inside (towards the body) or outside (away from the body), and forward or backward, for a total for four different edges. Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, skaters push off onto FO or FI edge on either the left or right foot. Using a line for axis, the skater will execute a series of lobes on the designated edge using blade pushes. Once the skater has reached the other end of the ice, they will return by performing a series of forward lobes on the opposite edge. Blade pushes should be used throughout. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four forward edges: - meet the definition of the edge Forward Three-Turns Definition: A series of forward three-turns performed in any order. All four forward turns must be performed (RFO, LFO, RFI, LFI). Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, a glide or prescribed steps, the skater may choose foot and starting edge as they perform all four forward three-turns. The skater may or may not return to a standstill position for the subsequent turns. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four three-turns: - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate two second entry and exit edge
