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.

Skate Canada Virtual Assessments – Evaluator Reference Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 24 Extenuating Circumstances: Contingency Plan (last resort) Sometimes, despite everyone’s best efforts, the video/audio quality is not sufficient to allow the virtual assessment day to be completed in a live format. If all troubleshooting methods have been exhausted by the service technician and the video/audio quality is still problematic, the option to capture the assessments on video is available. The contingency plan consists of a second videographer assigned to record the assessments on a separate device which are then sent to the evaluator for viewing and assessing. The service technician will stay on the live feed of the assessment day during this process. The evaluator may choose whether to stay on the live feed or not for the videoing process. Contingency plan Process The virtual assessment day will proceed as normal with everyone joining the online meeting platform and the evaluator virtually attending and directing the session. The second videographer, not signed into the meeting, will record the assessments as directed by the service technician with the following modifications specific to this video submission process: - Verbally announce the skater and their assessment (i.e., “Tinker Bell, Paso Doble”). - Record each assessment as a separate video. The evaluator will give additional direction for how specific assessment types should be captured, for example: - Dances: o If the evaluator is able to stay on the live feed, they will direct the performance by indicating when to stop the music. If the evaluator is unable to stay on the live feed, they will communicate the number of patterns/sequences to be skated. o Dances must be recorded from centre ice. - Element assessments: o In most cases, the evaluator will be able to assess the elements live. The second videographer will still video each element in isolation. This will enable an individual element to be sent to the evaluator if needed. o If the video quality is too poor for the evaluator to be able to identify if re-skates would be needed, they may ask the coach to use their best judgment and identify two elements to be re-skated for the recordings, should they be needed. If the assessment day only includes Dances, Freeskate or Artistic programs, the evaluator may choose to give their directions and log out of the meeting to await the receipt of the videos, leaving the service technician to oversee the proceedings. There are many ways to share the video content. Each section will determine the guidelines that fit best for them. The videos may be sent to the service technician to then send to the evaluator, or directly to the evaluator. A group chat between the second videographer, the service technician and the evaluator may be created.
