Reports
Promptness is imperative in order to be eligible for another Test Day. The skater's test records must be kept up-to-date. Submit all documentation as noted below within 3 weeks of the date of test - failure to report could render the tests null and void by Skate Canada plus jeopardize the club's opportunities for future test days with the Section.Withdrawal of Candidate
- Responsible for the fee... A candidate who withdraws within 14 days of the time announced for the test shall be liable for the test fee. This fee shall be submitted with the fees for the tests tried. This applies to all tests including competition tests.
- Candidate withdrawal procedure... The candidate's name shall be entered on the summary sheet and marked as "not tried". The test shall be considered as a failed test.
- Exceptions... The above shall not apply if the Test Chair at the relevant session is satisfied that illness or accident necessitated the withdrawal
A skater may apply to take a number of Interpretive Tests at one test day and of course the testing of the next level is dependent on passing the lowest level first. Each test should be performed each time as there are different standards used for each test level.
The only time there may be an exception is if a skater at a Gold Free Skate Test level or a Gold Dance and Gold Skating Skills level (or combination of high level tests) applies to take the Gold Interpretive Test, foregoing lower level Interpretive Tests, with the execution of one performance of their interpretive program. These requests will be treated on a case-by-case basis by the National office Skating Programs Department. The skater is responsible for the fees of the other Interpretive tests that they are bypassing. All the test (s) must be indicated on the test summary sheet that is submitted by the Test Chair.
Approval Process
The Club Test Chair must email Skate Canada Member Services directly for approval for the Gold Interpretive Test Exception or call (local) 613-747-1007 or (toll free) 1.888.747.2372, ext. 2519.
