There are training courses during the week, but it wouldn't be possible to train an inexperienced marshal before the first practice tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 As long as an inexperienced marshal is with one or more experienced marshals there's no problem. ALL marshals start off initially inexperienced 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL marshals start off initially inexperienced 😀 That's true, but the Road Races Act requires that all marshals that are appointed have received appropriate training. In this context that means that they have gone through the Incident Management Course for marshals on the TT Course. It wouldn't be possible to put a marshal with no experience through the course before tomorrow. Hence the call for experienced marshals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make up the numbers without an IMC but you can’t be fully qualified. I’m not sure if there’s a minimum number of qualified marshals stipulated - I think that’s a judgement call from the DSMs and CSMs: Novice marshals All new TT marshals, even if you have previous marshalling experience at other venues or in other motorsports, must watch our introductory film before being placed out on the course with one of our experienced teams of TT Marshals. Watching and learning the ropes from our longstanding, knowledgeable volunteers is an important part of your training and gives new recruits the opportunity to experience marshalling, and ask plenty of questions, while enjoying the camaraderie of being part of the team. To aid your training, we highly recommend you take time to watch all our training films and read the “Marshalling Matters” booklet before you report for duty. After you have completed at least three sessions out on the course we encourage you to undertake our Incident Management Course. All novice marshals must complete an IMC before they gain full marshal accreditation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All novice marshals must complete an IMC before they gain full marshal accreditation. The Event Safety Plan is quite clear that all marshals have to have completed an Incident Management Course within the previous three years. Obviously marshals have to start somewhere, and novice marshals can go out on the course and be positioned with experienced marshals, but if there are insufficient qualified marshals to cover all the marshalling points, and fulfil all the marshalling roles, having more novice marshals won't change that. Novice marshals cannot be used to 'make up the numbers'. Hence the appeal for experienced marshals.

Or return flights to Gatwick which miss the majority of MGP for less than £120. I don’t think that’s expensive is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
