Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem-solving skills in the development of the pit lane/service area management plan and contingency strategies, supervision of team members and inspection of the pit lane/service area.

Competence must be demonstrated at and during a motorsport event.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to plan, coordinate and oversee the operations of a motorsport team technical service crew. It includes pit lane/service area operations, emergency repairs and coordination of competition vehicle on-track support, persons and team communication.

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 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

develop and implement a pit lane/service area management plan, covering:

minimisation of risk of injury to self or others

minimisation of the risk of damage to competition vehicle, tooling and equipment and wastage of material

minimisation of service and emergency repair times

addressing of potential problems

supervise team members effectively

modify activities to cater for variations in context and environment.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur at and during a motorsport event.

Access to category rules and supplementary regulations and legislation as identified in the Range Statement, team procedures and past performance data.

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.
