Licence Structure

The CAMS Accredited Official licensing structure has two parts:

• Graded Officials Licences
• Non Graded Officials Licences

Graded Officials Licences have six grading levels and are available to all CAMS Accredited Officials to achieve. Non Graded Officials Licenses have two types:

• Specialist Licence holders are those that hold professional qualifications and are registered medical service providers.
• Appointed Licence holders are those that have been appointed by the management of CAMS.  

An official may hold different levels for different disciplines of officiating at any one time (e.g. they could be a Gold Steward and also a Bronze Rally Official). The graded levels are defined as follows:

Trainee

For those with no current motor sport officiating experience who are capable of working under direct supervision at all events.

General Official

For those with motor sport officiating experience who are capable of working under indirect supervision at all events.

Club Chief (Club Level Specific)

For those with motor sport officiating experience working without supervision, capable of performing the role of Clerk of the Course/Event Director, assuming a team-leader role (except Chief Scrutineer) or Chief Steward role at Club/Multi-Club events (excluding race, rally and off road events).

Bronze

For those officials qualified to officiate without supervision, capable of performing the role of team-leader (may take responsibility for other officials), officiating as Chief up to and including State level events and act as General Official at any level event.

Silver

For those officials with motor sport officiating experience qualified to work without supervision, capable of assuming a team-leader role (and taking responsibility for other officials), officiating as Chief up to and including National level events, and act as a General Official at any level event.
