Manage motorsport data acquisition

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit applies to individuals who undertake the identification of data acquisition needs of a motorsport team and configure a system so as to retrieve, analyse and present the data. Data may be related to weather, circuit, driver/rider characteristics, systems capability and vehicle design specifications.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to configure a data acquisition system and to analyse and present motorsport data.

It requires the ability to analyse data requirements, configure an electronic system and retrieve, analyse and present data in various forms, including charts, graphs, tables, comparisons and reports.

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:

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

apply safety requirements, including the isolation of equipment and the use of personal protective equipment

follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly configure data acquisition, acquire, analyse and present motorsport data on a minimum of two (2) occasions. At least one (1) of these must be an appropriate event, and cover each of the following:

vehicle data

weather data

circuit data

driver/rider characteristics

retrieve data within relevant team quality and timeliness standards

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

follow team data security and confidentiality procedures.

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:

team requirements

access to data acquisition system and associated material and equipment

information on work specifications

organisational procedures

safety procedures, regulations and 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.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills
