Manage motorsport operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Work involves managing team operations and may include, but is not limited to, workshop management, specific event preparation management, innovation and component management.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem-solving skills in consultation with team members, decision making and planning

Competence may be demonstrated in workplaces involved in motorsport, associated with motorsport teams or in a simulated environment.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge to manage motorsport operations. It includes motorsport team leadership, decision making, ensuring team compliance with motorsport regulatory requirements, and managing logistics and resourcing.

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

Employability Skills

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 use of personal protective equipment and materials handling equipment

implement and supervise 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

complete the development of a significant operational procedure incorporating legislative safety requirements and covering:

a full analysis of the topic area

a step-by-step operational procedure

supporting documents to the procedure

implement a process for an operational area as identified in the unit scope covering:

information dissemination

monitoring of operations

complete a review and update of a process for an operational area as identified in the unit scope, covering:

system and sub-area/sub-system description

evaluation of the effectiveness of the process in achieving desired outcomes

legal, regulatory or intellectual property law requirements

documentation of modifications to improve the process

complete work within team budgetary, quality and timeliness standards

work effectively with others

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

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, material, work instructions and deadlines.

Access to team budgets and inventories as identified in the Range Statement and team procedures.

This unit may be undertaken under the guidance of a mentor in the workplace (e.g. team manager), where tasks are undertaken, but ultimate responsibility rests with the mentor.

Assessment of this competence may include project related tasks and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

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