About
The
Clerk of the Course has overall responsibility for the general conduct and
control of an event in accordance with the Regulations, Programme and
Organising Permit. As such, they act as the sport’s first judicial body, having
the power to impose penalties in accordance with the regulations.
The
Clerk of the Course may be nominated by the organisers of the event to the
requirements of the TT, who may require certain Clerks of the Course to be
licenced Officials.
As
a Senior Official, the Clerk of the Course must be at least 18 years of age.
They liaise closely with the Stewards throughout the event to ensure its safe
running.
Training
The
training for a Clerk of the Course is conducted via a modular training
programme, during which time they are classed as a Probationary Clerk.
Once
the modular training programme has been completed they will undergo and pass an
assessment before a full Clerks licence is granted.
