Here you can find the different dressage levels of North America, Finland and Sweden. You will learn which levels are somehow relative to the ones your horses compete in your country, but please notice that these are not official exact comparisons, they are only for guidance and there have been some unsureness about some levels. Please tell if the levels in your country differ from these, because we aim to list the levels of as many countries as possible. North America | Finland | Sweden | Germany | Introductory | Raviohjelma | Lätt D | Reitwettbeverb | Training Level | Helppo C | Lätt C | Einsteiger | First Level | Helppo B | Lätt B | Anfänger | Second Level | Helppo A | Lätt A | Leicht | Third Level | Vaativa B | Medelsvår B | Mittel | Fourth Level | Vaativa A | Medelsvår A | Schwer | Prix St. Georges | Prix St. Georges | Svår | St. Georges / S* | Intermediate I | Intermediate I | Svår | Intermediaire I / S** | Intermediate II | Intermediate II | Svår | Intermediaire II / S** | Grand Prix | Grand Prix | Grand Prix | Grand Prix (Special or Kür) / S*** |
This one should be the final one now. It has been so problematic, that let's not make it any harder. It'd be great that we could all accept these ones, even if there is differences between some levels. There have been a lot of differing opinions and I don't know who's right or wrong anymore. Thank you :--)

Sweden use this classes low to highest: Lätt D - First Level Lätt C - Second Level Lätt B - Third Level Lätt A - Fourth Level Medelsvår B Medelsvår A Svår Grand Prix
I think LD is like first level and so on. But I'm not sure.

Back. The program looks the same between Lätt D and First Level. So I think our lowest class starts there.
But we don't use Prix St. Georges, Intermediate I and Intermediate II. We use Medelsvår B, Medelsvår A and Svår

Anyone got any idea about levels in e.g. Germany or Britain?

I'm not sure as far as the "conversions", but here is an outline of British Dressage Tests. I can compare to the USEF tomorrow, if you want.

Just one error, in Sweden we use Grand Prix, so it's not Grand Prix (svår), it's just Grand Prix.

And Lätt B isn't much higher level then First Level. Lätt D is like First Level. And we don't use Prix St. Georger, Intermediate I or Intermediate II

Ok, good to know. Lätt D is the same as our Raviohjelma, and First Level is about our Helppo B... Hmm, I'll try to work this out. You might not use the Intermediate things, but they are still the FEI International programmes.

Isn't this tool thing supposed to show other countries systems and be put up on a list there it will be easy to see which level the horse is competing in between our different systems? In that case should Lätt D and Raviohjelma be beside First Level. If I buy a horse competing in Helppo B have I no idea which level it would be in Sweden or North America. And a horse from Sweden competing in Lätt D is more educated then a horse compeing in Introductory. So it will looks very wrong if the horse compete Lätt D and then goes down to Introductory just cause this list saying that. Confusing. But you might have a other idéa with this list that I havn't understand yet?

May I help you a little bit for Germany? In the brackets I will write out the whole word, but generally we use only the abbreviation.
North America - German Introductory - RWB (Reitwettbewerb) Training Level - E (Einsteiger) First Level - A (Anfänger) Second Level - L (Leicht) Third Level - M (Mittel) Fourth Level - S (Schwer)
Prix St. Georges - St. Georges or S* (both terms are possible) Intermediate I -Intermediaire I or S** (both terms are possible) Indermediate II - Intermediaire II or S** (both terms are possible)
Grand Prix - this is divided into two parts in Germany. Grand Prix Special or S*** and Grand Prix Kür
Grand Prix Kür is the most difficult class in Dressage
