eRink
- What is it?
eRink, the ISU eLearning platform, was launched in May 2019 as part of the ISU Development Program with the goal to provide consistent and continuous online learning to the skating community. Since then, it has offered educational possibilities and development opportunities to Coaches, Officials, Skaters and Administrators at the Club, Regional, National, and International levels worldwide.
For the ISU and its Members, it is an additional tool to promote and develop Ice Skating sports globally. The platform is available on computers and all mobile devices making it possible to learn anytime, anywhere.
New courses are developed on a regular basis. Join the community and Keep Learning!

The ISU eRink is open to everyone interested in learning about ice skating. You can register here for free and start exploring the courses available. The platform is available 24/7 worldwide on any device connected to the Internet.
- What are the courses you can follow?
- Skating Techniques for Coaches with Brian Orser

And many more courses are added on a regular basis!
The ISU eRink also hosts formal trainings for International and ISU Officials in all disciplines, so there are online seminars and courses restricted to a specific target group per case. With the courses and seminars, we are building up a resource center where Skaters, Coaches, Officials and other stakeholders would be able to find relevant materials for their educational purposes. In addition, the platform is used to enhance in-person projects from the ISU Development Program implemented in different countries by ISU Members.
