2024 Training Calendar

The importance of training and accreditation for marshals and officials cannot be over-emphasised. Its purpose is to ensure that there is a common understanding of roles and responsibilities, the management of spectators and how to handle and manage an incident. It also allows a progression through the available levels of the Motorsport UK Marshals' Pathway and other pathways for officials.

We have a training programme for marshals and officials of all levels of experience, from complete novice to guru level. Our courses are run by qualified instructors licensed by Motorsport UK, and all but a few are free of charge.

The majority of our training opportunities count towards grade maintenance or upgrade requirements for Motorsport UK licence holders on the Motorsport UK Marshals' Pathway.

We run online training seminars every month, live on Zoom. You can join in with a computer, tablet or smartphone. Each session usually lasts for around 90 minutes and you'll receive a certificate as evidence of attendance.

Our in-person training events include practical topics, most of which will be aligned with significant events in the Scottish motorsport calendar.

Registered Marshal

Almost all motorsport events need volunteer marshals to make sure they are run safely and effectively. It's a rewarding way of getting more closely involved with motorsport and joining a community of like-minded enthusiasts; general duties range from displaying flag signals to drivers and clearing debris to helping extract drivers and cars that have crashed or broken down.

We strongly encourage you to register with Motorsport UK as this is the best way to ensure that you receive the proper training for your role regardless of the discipline.
