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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 13 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 1 Forward Inside C Step Sequence Definition: A simple turn sequence consisting of a forward inside C Step followed by a backward outside edge on the same lobe and then repeating the prescribed steps on the opposite foot as the skater steps forward on the opposite lobe. To complete this element, a minimum of 4 sequences must be performed. Performance Example: Using a line for an axis, skaters may start from a standstill or a glide and may choose the starting foot. Skaters will push onto a forward inside edge to perform a FI C Step. From the BI edge, skater will then step onto the same lobe with the opposite foot to execute a BO edge, holding this edge to the axis line. At the line, the skater will change lobes and step forward onto an inside edge to perform the same sequence on the opposite foot. The skater should aim to perform the FI C Step on the first half of the lobe, leaving the last half of the lobe to hold the BO edge. Blade pushes should be used throughout. Mandatory Requirements: - meet the definition of the element Forward Spiral Circles Definition: A forward spiral performed on each edge while skating around the same circle. This element will be performed in both directions to ensure all four forward spirals are performed. Note: As this is a developing skill, a minimum of one spiral per foot meeting the definition of a spiral position is acceptable. Performance Example: Skaters may start in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Skating forward on a large circle, skaters will gain enough speed to execute a forward spiral on their leg of choice. After holding the spiral for as long as they can, they will skate around the same circle with as many steps as needed to perform a forward spiral on the opposite foot. This exercise must then be repeated in the opposite direction. Mandatory Requirements: - meet the definition of the element - positions held for a minimum of one second - minimum of one spiral per foot that meets the definition
