Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to recover damaged or broken down vehicles in motor sport events in a safe and timely manner and without causing further damage to the vehicle. It involves planning, setting up and recovering vehicles that require retrieval due to accident or mechanical breakdown at a motor sport event, and completing workplace processes and documentation. It includes carrying out pre-operational checks on recovery equipment, and operating the recovery equipment and ancillary equipment.It applies to those working in the motor sport industry.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 vehicles that they have recovered, e.g. recovery vehicle log.

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 events

personal and motor sport team safety procedures and requirements, including PPE

three different motor sport vehicles requiring recovery

motor sport vehicle recovery equipment.
