Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to develop race strategies, communicate strategy plan and contingencies to team members, implement race strategies and conduct post-event reviews.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop event strategy
- 1.1. Workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements, including regulatory requirements and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
- 1.2. Input is sought is sought from team members and compared with available event data, including past performance, and points documented
- 1.3. Team strategies are devised for attaining competitive advantage
- 1.4. Team members are briefed on security of information and intellectual property procedures
- 1.5. Contingency plans are developed and documented
2. Communicate strategy plan and contingencies to team members
- 2.1. Responsibilities within strategy, plan and contingencies are identified and confirmed with each team member
- 2.2. Authority hierarchies and relationships are clearly explained
- 2.3. Team feedback is sought, evaluated and incorporated
3. Implement race strategies
- 3.1. Team roles and responsibilities are reinforced with team members at an event, prior to event commencement
- 3.2. Strategies are implemented and clearly communicated to team members during an event
- 3.3. Contingency plans are communicated and team member roles and responsibilities outlined
- 3.4. Strategy outcomes are monitored and amended as necessary during an event
4. Conduct post-event review
- 4.1. Event debrief is conducted with driver/rider and team members as soon as practicable following a race
- 4.2. Data is analysed and points documented
- 4.3. Technician reports are considered and points documented
- 4.4. Team debrief is conducted and outcome including recommendations are documented
- 4.5. Event strategies are reviewed with team members
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

weather changes
variation in circuit conditions
competition vehicle damage
driver error
possible competitor strategies
WHS requirements

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:
interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations
apply safety requirements including the use of personal protective equipment
devise task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment
achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards
develop and implement race strategies for a minimum of two (2) events (or simulated events). The following must be demonstrated during development:
consultation with team members
use of problem-solving techniques
consideration of driver/rider strengths and weaknesses
consideration of driver/rider characteristics
consideration of event variations
complete all work data within team quality and timeliness standards
work effectively with others
modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment
apply team data security and confidentiality procedures and processes at all times.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, material, work instructions and deadlines.
Access to previous performance data, regulatory body and category rules and supplementary regulations.
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 competency.
Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.
