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.

Coverage, updates and corrections

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 23 STAR 4 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 4 Forward Change of Edges Definition: A series of edge changes on one foot performed on an axis. The entry and exit edge of the change must be held for 2 seconds or more. All four forward change of edges must be performed: RFO-I, LFO-I, LFI-O, RFI-O Performance Example: Starting from a standstill or small glide, the skater steps onto an edge of choice at an axis to create a lobe or curve. As the skater approaches the axis again, they will prepare to change their edge and lobe at the axis by placing the free foot in front of the skating foot. At the axis, the skater will shift their lean to the new lobe while moving their free foot behind the skating foot. The new edge will match the symmetry of the first edge and be held until the axis. Repeat to perform all forward entry edges. Note: The change of edge should be executed in a manner that sees the skater progressively travel down the ice without “back tracking” or performing an “S” change. There should be clear edges entering and exiting the change of edge to ensure that the change is not diagonal or straight. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four change of edges: - meet the definition of the element - demonstrate two second entry and exit edge Backward Circle on Circle (draw for direction) Definition: A full circle of backward skating that is performed balancing on one foot and then transferring to the opposite foot to perform another circle in the same direction. Only one direction will be performed for assessment. Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, the skater may start with the left or right foot, on an outside or inside edge. The skater performs one push onto an edge and holds that edge for a full circle. Once the skater has completed the first circle on one foot/edge, they will perform another push to complete a second circle, in the same direction on the opposite edge. Both circles will be skated on approximately the same size circle, thus creating a “circle on circle” exercise. Mandatory Requirements: - meet the definition of the edge and element
