Field Placement

Students may be eligible to undertake placements that are organised by Motorsports Training Australia. These placements are with our industry and racing partners, and enable students to get a real-life, real-work feel for their chosen career. As an example, in 2023 these placements were conducted across multiple racing categories and vehicle classes.

Assessment

The assessments will enable students to demonstrate the underpinning knowledge, skills and attributes required to meet the course outcomes. A range of assessment strategies to meet different student's needs will be selected, including reports, tests, practical assessments of your abilities, placement assessments and demonstrations.

Other Information

As is the nature of the motorsports industry and race meets, you will be required to do placements (and perhaps extra work for racing teams) on weekends.

This could also be a stepping stone into an engineering career by taking up further study opportunities via university and possibly gaining recognition of prior learning. Should you change your mind, after completing this qualification the vast majority of your study will be complete already should you wish to undertake a general auto mechanic apprenticeship.
