Officials Accreditation System Updated

The Officials Accreditation System has been updated which will take effect from the 1st
January 2012.

The first step in becoming an official is through a General Seminar. This seminar is targeted at those without any accreditation (mums and dads) and this seminar can be completed online and is found on the Motorcycling NSW website or by contacting the office. The assessment component of the General Seminar has been reduced down to 20 questions which are more relevant to the seminar and its attendees. Those who complete the General seminar and its assessment (75% pass) will receive a level 1 operational accreditation upon application. There will be no requirement to provide proof of working as an operational official via the log book.

Once accredited as an operational official you are now eligible to attend a Key Official
seminar as per the usual way.

For those who wish to progress into one of the Key Official positions (Race Secretary, Scrutineer, Clerk of Course and Steward/Referee) you will be required to attend a role specific Seminar. The Key Officials Seminars have now been condensed into a 4 hour Seminar as many topics have been covered in the General Officials Seminar.

There is no longer the need for an official to be assessed as part of their level 3 application process. The officials will need to provide evidence, via the log book, of officiating at 6 race meetings as a level 2 Key official. Additionally, there will be a level 3 assessment which will be scenario based assessment.

Motorcycling NSW continues to offer all Officials Seminars at no cost in an effort to encourage more people in assisting run fantastic and safe events.

Like disciplines and unlike disciplines have also been amended. Please see page 11 of the officials Accreditation System

An updated Officials Accreditation System is attached.
