EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
explain the ways in which industry knowledge can be applied to maximise effective performance as an official or volunteer
communicate effectively with others to source, develop and share motorsport information
describe the organisational structure, competition categories, event rules and regulations, and roles of officials and volunteers in at least one (1) motorsport discipline
apply knowledge of motorsport protocols, rules and regulations in specific motorsport event contexts.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.
Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability
The following resources should be made available:
access to information and communication technology, including the internet
access to current sources of motorsport industry information
NCR and event supplementary regulations
industry magazines and related publications.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
case studies and problem-solving to assess application of knowledge in different motorsport event contexts
questions to assess knowledge of different aspects of the motorsport industry as detailed in the Evidence Guide
review of portfolios of evidence and third-party reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process/
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances/
Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role/
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
