Commissaire accreditation guide

MODULE

NOTES

It’s a good idea to download these first up so you can refer to them as you work through the modules, especially when doing the quizzes.

If you have trouble downloading them, contact the club president president@adelaidehillscc.org.au

You just need to apply for Working with Children clearance (if you don’t already have it) and, once you get the email confirming this, copy-and-paste the email content into a Word file and load it to the AC site using the link provided.

Just go here https://screening.sa.gov.au/applications/application-information-for-individuals
On the first screen (where you enter your name, address etc), the screening required is “Working With Children Check” and the Applicant Type is “Volunteer”
It takes a few days for the check to come through

Once you have uploaded it to the AC site, AC verify it and then send you an email confirming this part of the accreditation process is done.

Once done, the completion certificate needs to be uploaded to the AusCycling portal (instructions on how to do this are provided on the AC site).

Use the link provided for this module on the AC site to go to the Sports Australia training site.

·         Create an account.

·         Once the account is set up, go to the Sports Australia Learning Centre and select the “Community officiating – General Principles” program.

There are 3 modules to do. The instructions say it will take about 3-hours to do however one of our members successfully completed it in well under half this time.

There are quizzes at the end of each model, and all need to be correctly answered. If you get an answer wrong, you can re-do it until you get the right answer.

Once completed, you will get an email with a link to your certificate.

Download the certificate then upload it to the AC Commissaire training module site.

You will be notified by AC when this has been reviewed and verified.

It is completed by way of a practical assessment, conducted by AC appointed officials, at an event.

You can organise this yourself by using the booking system provided as part of the training module material or AHCC can organise this for you. If you want us to help, contact the AHCC President to make the arrangements: president@adelaidehillscc.org.au

Once you are booked in for the practical, you’ll get an email with details of where, when, and what will be covered.

One thing – make sure you are familiar with the reporting that needs to be done after an event, namely:

·         A report from the event Chief Commissaire (the Head of the Commissaire Panel for an event) gets sent to AusCycling to this address  ‘SA Technical Delegate AusCycling’ techdel.auscyclingsa@gmail.com . You can view copies of reports the club has submitted here (password is AHCC COMMS) https://www.adelaidehillscc.org.au/volunteer/commissaire/commissaire-resources/chief-commissaire-reports-to-auscycling/

·         If there is an incident (accident, incident with the public, complaint, property damage and so on), an Incident Report Form needs to also be submitted. A copy can be found here: https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/club-resources

They contain some questions to check your knowledge as you progress through them. These questions can be re-tried if you get something wrong. You need to get each question correct before being able to proceed though the module.

Some of the modules also have a test at the end where you need to get all questions correct. Some of the questions have multiple elements that all need to be correct but the system does not allow you to go back to the content to find where you may be going wrong if you do not get all items correct. Can be a bit frustrating if you miss something and have to keep trying to get it right (hence why downloading the slides for all the modules before you start the program is a good idea).

Don’t try and go back to the online module content (say, by using the menu bar to do this) as you can get caught in a loop and end up needing to re-do the entire module again from scratch.

There is no final set of questions – just a series of questions as you progress.
