MSA Rally Marshals Training

These training days are coming up soon.

There are a variety of sessions; "Senior Stage Officials" sounds particularly useful:

Introduction to Rally Marshalling – Aimed at newcomers, together with some practical incident training, over views of how a rally is organised and run, plus the student's MSA License application countersigned and stamped.

In Stage Marshal – Aimed at those undertaking in stage duties or Sector Marshal duties. Again this is classroom based so as to cover stage setup, stage safety, spectator control, a First Aid over view, how Rescue Units operate, an overview of the MSA Safety & Medical frequency (rally radio), plus practical incident training.

Timing – As experienced rally timing officials you almost certainly have a good grounding in rally timing and equipment, however there’s always something new. These sessions besides covering all the basic areas of event timing, time controls, Arrivals, Start, Flying Finish and Stop, also provide ‘hands on’ sessions with all the timing equipment commonly used in the UK. Additionally there are usually brief overviews of subjects previously mentioned under In Stage Marshal and also in Radio.

Radio – The history, why, Radio Agency rules, positive & negative reporting, ‘A’ system, ‘B’ system, 81, and RalliTrak are all covered, plus overviews of timing, first aid, practical incident training and practical radio training are all covered.

Senior Stage Officials – Definitely the most classroom based, covering in some detail the Blue Book, legal responsibilities, Health & Safety requirements, stage set up, timing, major incidents, roles & responsibilities, inter-personal skills, leadership to name but a few of the subjects, though participants usually also get to have a go at the practical incident training. A course aimed at Stage Commanders, Deputy Stage Commanders, Stage Safety Officers, Spectator Safety Officers, or those aspiring to these roles.
