The skills of the first seven badges-Beginner, Elementary, Basic and Novice I through Novice IV levels are assessed on a day-to-day basis. A badge is awarded when a skater learns the skills in that badge. Only the final Proficiency badge is tested by the qualified coach. A series of incentive certificates and special ribbons are also used to encourage and reward skaters. Many skaters complete the entire program in two years.
