Specific key competencies, underpinning and employability skills required to achieve the performance criteria
These include a number of processes that are learned throughout work and life, which are required in most jobs. Some of these are covered by the national key competencies, although others may be added. The details below highlight how these competencies are to be applied in the attainment of this unit.

Application of the key competencies in this unit are to satisfy the nominated level in which:

Level 1 - relates to working effectively within set conditions and processes;
Level 2 - relates to the management or facilitation of conditions or processes; and
Level 3 - relates to the design, development and evaluation of conditions or process.
How will the candidate apply the following key competency in this unit? The candidate will need to:

Collect, analyse and organise information
Collect, organise and understand information related to team resource and logistic requirements, legislative and motorsport regulatory requirements from a variety of sources, using a range of research techniques
(Level 2)

Communicate ideas and information
Communicate ideas and information to enable input from team members and understanding by team members of plans developed
(Level 3)

Plan and organise activities
Plan and organise activities including consultation with team members to determine team resource and logistic requirements and development, implementation and review of operational plans
(Level 3)

Work with others and in a team
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise information flow and productivity
(Level 2)

Use mathematical ideas and techniques
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly interpret budgets and estimate material requirements required for team resource and logistic requirements
(Level 2)

Solve problems
Use information gathering, analysis and evaluative techniques to determine team resource and logistic requirements and develop strategies to address these
(Level 3)

Use technology
Use workplace technology related to computer software programs for gathering and recording information including Internet search, spreadsheets and databases
(Level 2)

Resource implications
Access to team budgets and inventories as identified in the Range Statement and team procedures

Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competence

Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, material, work instructions and deadlines
This unit may be undertaken under the guidance of a mentor in the workplace (e.g. team manager), where tasks are undertaken, but ultimate responsibility rests with the mentor
Assessment of this competence may include project related tasks and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process
