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.

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Checking must include: | function accuracy efficiency. |
Safety requirements must include: | work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for: identifying hazards and managing risks identifying acceptable tolerance levels for noise, heat and fumes. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
collect and log data at two different motor sport events, including at one sanctioned motor sport event
use both manual and electronic systems at each of the above events
collect the following types of data at each of the above events:
vehicle data
weather data
circuit data
driver or rider characteristics.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to collecting and logging motor sport data, including procedures for:
identifying hazards and managing risks
identifying acceptable tolerance levels for noise, heat and fumes
motor sport data acquisition systems, including:
types, characteristics, components, uses and limitations
types of motor sport data, including data irregularities and tolerance levels
end users of motor sport data
manual data collection and logging methods
electronic data collection and logging methods
types of data analysis software, including:
methods of importing data and performing preliminary data evaluation
methods of collating, reporting and recording data findings
data acquisition system inspection, maintenance and system check procedures.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
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 motor sport data they have collected and logged, 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:
two different motor sport events, including one sanctioned event
motor sport vehicle
manual motor sport data acquisition system, including:
stopwatches
tyre pyrometer
weather station
electronic motor sport data acquisition system, including data analysis software.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
