TESTS

British Ice Skating Test Information

You can find all information you may need regarding British Ice Skating tests on this page.

You can apply to take tests nationally, or you can claim test levels from certain competitive events - our Test Level Application & Claim Form should be completed in either case, and submitted though our membership platform, Sport:80.

All national test applications submitted to us will be passed to a local test organiser, who will then contact the applicant directly.

All terms and conditions relating to tests can be found here.

National Tests can be taken in single parts or both parts applied for at the same time, the skater completes one on ice programme where both components and technical will be assessed. These are individual test that require individual applications and can be passed independently of each other. When both test parts are passed and the skills of the same level is also a pass you will have achieved a “full national level". Below is some useful information to help you navigate the process.

This must be received and verified before you can enter competitions or apply for national tests. Once it has been signed and completed by your coach you should email double page pictures of each completed page to test.membership@iceskating.org.uk (this Includes Synchro & Speed skating).

Once we've checked your booklet and verified that you hold a current valid BIS membership you will receive an email confirmation to let you know the process is complete.
