Assessment Conditions

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace, for one sanctioned event.

Other competencies are to be assessed in an automotive repair 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 competition vehicles that they have prepared, 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 motor sport events, including one sanctioned event
  • controlling body rules, category rules and supplementary regulations for the motor sport event
  • personal and motor sport team safety procedures and requirements, including PPE
  • two different motor sport competition vehicles
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for preparing competition vehicles at a motor sport event.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
