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.

Appointment of Judges 1. All Judges of Dance tests shall be appointed by and at the discretion of BIS and must be eligible persons and current members of BIS. 2. One BIS judge will judge BIS National Tests from 1 – 5 inclusive and 2 BIS judges will judge BIS National Tests from 6 – Gold Star inclusive. However, under exceptional circumstances, all BIS Tests may be judged by one BIS judge qualified as an ISU or International Judge on the official ISU List. Approval for this must be given by the BIS Office. General Regulations 1. All tests will be marked using BIS Test Papers. 2. Skaters may progress up any vertical channel of the BIS National Test Structure separately e.g. National PD 1 – Gold Star without holding National FD1 but National PD 1 must be passed before taking National PD 2 etc. 3. The coach must not stand on the ice during any test. Skaters must not return to their coach during a test. However, before any re-skate, communication with the coach will be permitted, but must be kept to a minimum. This will always be at the discretion of the judges. Specific Regulations 1. Small rinks: Tests sessions for National 5/Intermediate Novice and above will only be allowed on rinks of 40 metres or larger. 2. Re-skates: For a Pattern Dance test, one sequence of a Pattern Dance can be re-skated. For a Free Dance test, one re-skate is allowed of a specific required element with the music. No re-skate should be given if irrespective of any error(s), the component marks awarded are not in excess of the pass threshold for the test. 3. A short time can be taken between the judge speaking to the candidate and the re-skate being taken to allow the candidate to rectify the issue, but this should not exceed 3 minutes. 4. During a test, if the skater stops at the signal of the judge(s) because of circumstances that arise which jeopardise their safety on account of damage to their clothing or equipment or any other serious exceptional circumstances, then the skater will be permitted to recommence from the point of interruption. If the tempo or quality of the music is deficient, the skater must inform the judge and will either restart or resume from the point of the interruption. The decision as to whether the skater will restart or resume from the point of interruption is in the discretion of the judge(s). Where a skater restarts from the point of interruption, the GOEs awarded before the interruption will stand. Any resumption or restart under this paragraph will not count as a reskate. Page 3
