Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare and service an already assembled light competition vehicle in the workshop or at a motor sport event. It involves preparing for the task, servicing the light competition vehicle, making adjustments as required, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the motor sport industry. The light competition vehicles are under 300 kg of unladen weight, such as go-carts, motorcycles or jet skis.

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)

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the light competition vehicles that they have prepared and serviced, e.g. work order.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

motor sport workplace or simulated workplace

team instructions, category rules and supplementary regulations

manufacturer light competition vehicle specifications

personal and motor sport team safety procedures and requirements

two different light competition vehicles requiring service

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting, servicing and adjusting light competition vehicles.
