Clerk of the Course

Due to the nature of the role, Clerks of the Course must be well versed in the organisation and running of motorsport events, so it is incredibly important that you build up your experience over a number of years, accepting advice and guidance from those already in the role.

As a Senior Official, applicants must be at least 18 years old and will need to submit a motorsport CV with their application so that their prior experience in the sport can be considered.

This application must be supported by a Motorsport UK Recognised Club which runs the type of events that the application is for.

The training for a Motorsport UK Clerk of the Course is conducted via a modular development programme, during which time they are classed as an Assistant Clerk. The training programme consists of two types of modules – a theory-based module which can be carried out on Motorsport UK’s online learning platform, The Learning Hub, and several practical modules which
will be completed whilst on event.

Once the modular training programme has been completed, they will undergo and pass an assessment of knowledge before being upgraded to the position of Deputy Clerk. This means that they can act on behalf of the Clerk of the Course, however they cannot yet take full responsibility for the running of an event.
