What are medal tests?
Testing is a normal part of the skate school (Kiwi Skate) programme. However, the NZISA manages a separate set of medal tests which are evaluated by judges rather than a skate school coach. This testing programme is used to set the entry level criteria for competition, however skaters may choose not to compete and only take tests.Testing tracks are available in singles, ice dancing and pairs, and in both normal and adult tracks. You must belong to a club and be TC registered to take tests.
