The Ice Skating Institute's (ISI) Instructional and Recreational Ice Skater Test Programs are used worldwide, have accepted standards and have been developed for those who skate for recreation and enjoyment - for fun and pleasure. The program appeals to first time skaters because it teaches movements they can master almost immediately. It provides achievable objectives with immediate results.

The strength of the weSKATE Program, ISI's instructional program, is the logical progression of skill development, whereby skills learned in each level build on skills achieved in the preceding level. For example, Pre-Alpha one-foot glides are needed before Alpha forward stroking and forward and forward crossovers, which rely on one-foot gliding, can be learned.

The weSKATE Program is outstanding because there are established standards of performance for all maneuvers at all levels rather than a list of maneuvers to be taught / learned. That takes the guesswork out of testing - for both the instructor and the skater - and it insures the skater has correctly mastered the element before moving on to the next level.

ISI TESTING PROCEDURE
All Tots – Delta testing will now be done during the 15 minute practice time of Learn-to-Skate classes. This will be held once each month, and the dates will be listed on the registration form which can be found on the information table or by the skate rental. All Freestyle tests will be scheduled first come first serve on the 15 minute practice time. We will only allow one freestyle test per 15 minute practice time. The ice will be cleared the last 2 minutes of the practice for the program portion of the test to be skated. Any additional freestyle tests will be scheduled at a different time. Dance tests will also be scheduled at different times.
