Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare support equipment and a light competition vehicle for transportation. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and packing tools and equipment, fitting transportation devices, components and covers to a competition vehicle, and loading and unloading required tools, equipment and competition vehicle.
It applies to those working in the motor sport industry. The light competition vehicles are under 300 kg of unladen weight, including go-carts, motorcycles, mountain bikes or jet skis.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

procedures for transporting light competition vehicles and support equipment, including:
preparing light competition vehicles for transportation
preparing support equipment for transportation, including tools, tyres and wheels
loading and unloading light competition vehicles and support equipment
securing vehicles and support equipment
procedures for cleaning and preparing transport vehicles for subsequent use, including procedures for checking restraints, mechanisms and holding points.
Assessment Conditions
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 light competition vehicles that they have transported, e.g. team event documentation.
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
PPE, including hearing and eye protection
two different light competition vehicles and support equipment requiring transport to a motor sport event
vehicle transporter suitable for a light competition vehicle.
