Training Calendar 2020
We have a training programme for marshals and officials of all levels of experience, from complete novice to guru level, and the courses are all free, and run by qualified instructors licensed by Motorsport UK.
With the Covid-19 crisis and the current lockdown, all physical training events are cancelled till at least the end of June, but in their place we have a series of live Zoom webinars that you can sign in to with a computer, tablet or smartphone, all at 10:00 on Saturday mornings. The webinars last one hour, and you get a certificate that counts as evidence for an upgrade - equivalent to a signature on your PRC. But no, you can't claim for mileage.
Undoubtedly there will be more to come – and worth noting that these dates are subject to change if the situation with the pandemic changes

Marshals and Radio Marshals Training
Knockhill 19 January 2014
Another good turnout for a training day at Knockhill, featuring indoor sessions for marshals and radio marshals and senior officials, followed after lunch by fire-fighting practice for all. .
Working in pairs, one with a dry powder extinguisher to knock down the flames with a chemical reaction,and one with foam to cool the metal and smother the fire
Approach with the wind at your back, stay out of the smoke.
The day finished with a very impressive demonstration by an SMMC Saltire Rescue crew, cutting a car apart to extract a casualty.
Marshals and Radio Marshals Training
Knockhill 20 January 2013
Over 50 registered for the marshals/radio marshals training day at Knockhill, but the organisers chickened out of running the practice stage, just because of a little snow.
Instead they played indoors with Scuba's table-top Little Rally Driver kit - which is a good way to demonstrate stage setup of arrival, start, in-stage junctions and flying finish and stop controls, with all the correct arrows and boards.
The trainees did venture outside for a look at the safety features on a stage rally car, with special emphasis on electrical cut-outs, extinguishers, warning triangle and SOS/OK boards,
