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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 61 Assessment Logistics for Skills Format Ideally, Skills assessments should be conducted on a regular training session. Due to the nature of this assessment consisting of mainly turns in the field, this is the best use of ice, time and resources. Interruptions Using regular sessions to conduct assessments will increase the chances of skaters encountering some “interference” when performing. Evaluators and coach assessors are asked to use their discretion and best judgement regarding interference that relates to other skaters on the ice. For example, if another skater gets in the way of the skater being assessed when performing an element, the evaluator or coach assessor can allow the skater to start the element again or ignore the interruption if it was minor. In the case of re-starting an element/exercise the evaluator/coach assessor should use their discretion for restart point. For example, if the skater has completed the first half of an exercise (one “O” and one arm of the “X”) then they may restart with the second “O”. Re-skates In Skills, skaters may re-skate elements/exercises if needed to achieve a passing result or to improve the overall outcome (i.e. pass with honours). The elements/exercises selected for re-skating may be selected in consultation with the skater and the coach. Each re-skated element must be a different element. The number of re-skates permitted for each level can be found on the front of the assessment sheet. Example: 2 re-skates permitted (must be different elements) If the re-skate element contains more than one item, for example four turns, the skater only needs to re-skate the turns within that element that were unsuccessful. Exception: For Gold, each turn re-skated as part of the 9 Turn Challenge counts as a re-skate. Example: Gold Skills If on the first skate, 5/9 turns were successful, the skater may re-skate two turns to try to achieve the required 7/9. A re-skate option for the following two elements would no longer be available, as they were used for the 9 Turn Challenge. Please Note: If the 9 Turn Challenge requires more than two re-skates, it is not possible for the skater to receive a passing rating.
