Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to individuals who undertake the assembly and preparation of a competition vehicle in a motorsports environment.
A competition vehicle can be described as any vehicle which competes in any event of a competitive nature under one of the following categories: race, speed, rally road, off road, auto test and timed event.
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to assemble and prepare a competition vehicle.
It requires the ability to use technical skills to prepare components, install sub-assemblies and systems, and set vehicle baseline configuration in accordance with team requirements, supplementary regulations and component supplier specifications.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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:
interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations
correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment
follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment
achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards
correctly assemble and prepare a minimum of two (2) competition vehicles covering each of the following:
install electrical/electronic systems
install fluid/pneumatic/fire systems
conduct post-assembly checks
set 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:
work instructions and deadlines
computing, operational and inventory support systems
material, equipment and work specifications information
customer requirements
organisational 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.
