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:
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.
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 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.
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 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.
