Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to develop competition vehicle preparation specifications, checklists and schedules, and to supervise the preparation and assembly of a motor sport competition vehicle. It involves researching information, assessing personnel capabilities and schedule constraints, and supervising others to prepare a competition vehicle and check the post-preparation vehicle and work area.
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.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Develop preparation specifications and checklists | 1.1 Job requirements are determined from competition information 1.2 Rules, regulations, and vehicle specifications and tolerances are analysed for competitive advantage 1.3 Work specifications are documented and communicated to appropriate personnel |
2. Develop preparation schedule | 2.1 Equipment and capabilities of required personnel to meet job specifications are identified and sourced 2.2 Constraints to schedule are analysed and optimum sequence for vehicle preparation is documented 2.3 Critical path is analysed and factors affecting that path are documented 2.4 Preparation schedule is finalised and distributed to required personnel |
3. Supervise preparation | 3.1 Team adherence to preparation schedule is monitored according to team requirements 3.2 Work area is monitored for appropriate layout for job requirements and for cleanliness 3.3 Checks of vehicle during and after installation of components are carried out to ensure accurate and complete fitting 3.4 Problems with work area or operation of equipment are evaluated and resolved according to safety and environmental requirements 3.5 Proposals for modifications or adaptation of equipment and components are evaluated and changes adapted or adopted as required according to team requirements |
4. Supervise post-assembly checks | 4.1 Vehicle is inspected, and problems are identified and addressed according to team requirements 4.2 Post-preparation checks and vehicle start-up by team are supervised 4.3 Vehicle baseline set-up by team is supervised 4.4 Clean-up of work area by team is supervised 4.5 Final inspection of work area and vehicle is carried out and documentation completed |
Evidence of Performance
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:
manage the assembly and preparation by a team of one motor sport competition vehicle.
Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to preparing a competition vehicle, including:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using chemical cleaning and lubricating agents
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of chemicals and fluids released when assembling competition vehicles
methods of determining competition vehicle design, quality, and material, equipment and quantities from team instructions, supplementary regulations and manufacturer specifications
procedures for analysing rules, regulations, vehicle specifications and tolerances for competitive advantage
procedures for developing preparation schedules, including:
assembly and preparation processes applicable to competition vehicle
procedures for analysing team member capability for tasks
documentation procedures for preparation schedule
procedures for determining work area layout
procedures for supervising vehicle preparation, including:
procedures for developing and monitoring assembly inspection processes
methods of evaluating and remedying problems with work area and equipment operation.
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 motor sport vehicles that they have prepared, e.g. work orders.
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
one motor sport competition vehicle requiring pre-event preparation
motor sport team with knowledge of competition vehicle pre-event preparation procedures
tools and equipment required for the preparation of a competition vehicle.
