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.

Introduction As part of British Ice Skating’s “National Test Structure” the new National Skills tests are being introduced from [date] as a way forward to ensure that the skater has the relevant skills required for modern competition. National Skills tests are the next phase of a skater’s journey after completion of the Skate UK programme. They are designed to be a development tool that facilitates progression through skating competencies as they increase in difficulty. The final Skills 8 test is the culmination of all the skills learned to that point. Skills 8 is performed to music and is seen as the culmination of the National Skills programme. Whether a skater’s goal is to participate on the exciting competitive stage, to skate for recreation and the associated health benefits or to challenge yourself in the National Test Structure, the aim of these tests is to equip skaters with the essential skills to help realise their ambitions. At the core of this programme are the five pillars of Skill Score Assessment: ➢ “Pattern & Ice Coverage” ➢ “Edge Quality & Foot Placement” ➢ “Edge & Body Control” ➢ “Power & Speed” ➢ “Turn & Step Quality” ➢ “Musicality” for Skills 8 only These pillars, together with the multi-disciplinary exercises, have been specifically designed to engage a skater’s interest, build competency, and challenge their athletic and technical development in ice skating as they progress through the Skills. The details of the Skills tests are defined in the following handbook. NATIONAL SKILLS TESTS
