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 – Club & Skating School Coach Reference Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 9 Skater Preparation The view through a camera screen is much different for an evaluator and as such, the following strategies have been developed for each discipline to optimize the perspective and minimize challenges. Skills: • May be assessed on a regular training session, with other skaters on the ice. • All turns are to be demonstrated in front of and as close to the camera as possible. Ideally, this is between the two blue lines with the skater performing their turns across the view from the camera (parallel), and not away from the camera (perpendicular). See the diagram below. • The camera’s view must capture the full body of the skater and must capture the full entry edge into the turn and full exit edge out of the turn. • The evaluator may ask the coach present in the arena to direct the skater by calling the order of elements. This will be established at the beginning of the session. Coaches should have a copy of the assessment sheet on hand for this purpose. Freeskate Elements: • May be assessed on a regular session, with other skaters on the ice. • All jumps and spins are to be demonstrated in front of and as close to the camera as possible. Ideally, this is between the two blue lines with the skater performing their elements across the view from the camera (parallel), and not away from the camera (perpendicular). See diagram above of a turn being done properly for optimum viewing. • The evaluator may ask the coach present in the arena to direct the skater by calling the order of elements. This will be established at the beginning of the session. Coaches should have a copy of the assessment sheet on hand for this purpose. Dances: • May be assessed on a regular session, with other skaters moving to the boards or stepping off the ice during the assessment.
