Prepare and service a light competition vehicle

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit applies to individuals who undertake the preparation of a light competition vehicle in a motorsports environment.

For the purposes of this unit of competency, light competition vehicles are vehicles under 300 kg unladen weight, such as a go-carts, motorbikes and jet skis.

Competition vehicles can be described as vehicles which compete in any motorsport event of a competitive nature.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare and service an already assembled light competition vehicle in the workshop or at an event.

It requires the ability to use skills to prepare the competition vehicle in accordance with team requirements and event supplementary regulations, including cleaning, securing, shielding and checking the vehicle.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations

correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

follow task instructions and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to competition vehicle

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly prepare and service a light competition vehicle on a minimum of two (2) occasions covering each of the following:

cleaning of vehicle

conducting vehicle checks

assisting in setting vehicle baseline configuration

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

non-complex competition vehicles

work instructions and deadlines

tools, materials and equipment

team procedures

safety procedures and regulations

quality standards.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
