A Training Event is a total of six hours delivered by Motorsport UK Licensed Trainers of which a minimum of two hours must be face to face. This should be completed every two years to maintain the grade/s that is held.
The days to obtain the minimum requirements to upgrade must always be separate to the additional days required for assessment.
A Knowledge Check is the Assessor asking questions to ensure that the Marshal has taken in enough information regarding, for instance, flags and flagging for a Race: Grade 2 (Incident) upgrade.
If you have a question regarding your proposed upgrade, or any other marshalling query, please email marshals@motorsportuk.org so that they can assist.
