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.

Skate Canada Virtual Assessments – Evaluator Reference Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 16 • Camera view: Generally, the camera is situated as close to the centre of the ice as possible (centre red line). This cannot always be accommodated. The evaluator must make the best of the virtual environment and feel comfortable requesting modifications if necessary, to create the fairest experience for all. The following strategies have been identified for the best viewing and assessment experience for each discipline: o Skills and Freeskate Elements: Elements must be demonstrated in front of the camera. Coaches have been instructed to prepare their skater to perform the elements as close to the camera as possible.  As an evaluator, ask for any adjustments that may be needed to ensure the best view possible. Evaluators may also ask for any additional information that will help the assessment (e.g., identifying planned steps and turns for step sequences).  Reminder: Using regular sessions to conduct assessments increases the chances of skaters encountering some “interference” when performing. Evaluators are asked to use their discretion and best judgement regarding interference as it relates to other skaters on the ice. o Dance, Freeskate and Artistic: Music may not be synced with the skater depending on the internet connection. Evaluators may use “pacing” to assist with timing requirements. Planned program sheets for both Artistic and Freeskate programs will be provided ahead of the assessment day. Evaluators may ask for any additional information needed to assist in the identification of elements (e.g., transitional elements in Artistic) • Technology issues: Troubleshooting should be expected at any time throughout the virtual assessment. It will be important to remain calm and flexible during these times to ensure the comfort and focus of the skaters. The service technician is there to support and work through such challenges. • Confirmation of results: Evaluators must ensure results have been verbally delivered to each skater before ending the virtual assessment day. Note: The evaluator should be on camera for all interactions with the skaters. The skaters must be able to see the evaluator as well. Some instances may arise when the evaluator may need to turn off their camera during the assessment portion to help with the connection/bandwidth for a clearer video feed.
