This unit of competency supports the application of organisational, sound communication and basic problem-solving skills, the ability to demonstrate initiative and enterprise, and the use of technology. The skills and knowledge acquired upon completion of this unit would apply to the needs of employees in supporting positions for surveying, town planning, cartography, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).
While no licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply holistically to this unit at the time of publication, relevant federal, and state or territory legislation, regulations and codes of practice impact upon this unit (see unit performance criteria and range statement).
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to store and retrieve spatial data from a range of storage media, including digital or hard copy storage. It requires the ability to analyse and evaluate spatial information from a variety of sources and to identify and access spatial information for set task requirements. Functions would be carried out under limited supervision and within organisational guidelines.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills
The required outcomes described in this unit of competency contain applicable facets of employability skills. The Employability Skills Summary of the qualification in which this unit of competency is packaged, will assist in identifying employability skills requirements.
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment | This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example units CPPSIS4001A Maintain spatial systems, CPPSIS4004A Collect and set out basic spatial data, CPPSIS4005A Collect basic GPS data, and CPPSIS4014A Maintain spatial data. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of: applying data security and backup measures creating a workable index system managing contingencies retrieving spatial data. |
Specific resources for assessment | Resource implications for assessment include access to: assignment instructions, work plans and schedules, policy documents and duty statements assessment instruments, including personal planner and assessment record book registered training provider of assessment services relevant guidelines, regulations and codes of practice suitable venue and equipment. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities. |
Context of assessment | Holistic: based on the performance criteria, evidence guide, range statement, and required skills and knowledge. |
Method of assessment | Demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the assessor (or assessment team working together to conduct the assessment). Demonstrated competency in a range of situations, which may include customer/workplace interruptions and involvement in related activities normally experienced in the workplace. Obtained by observing activities in this field and reviewing induction information. If this is not practicable, observation in realistic simulated environments may be substituted. |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment requires that the clients' objectives and industry expectations are met. If the clients' objectives are narrowly defined or not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies of a variety of spatial information services requirements to assess competency. Oral questioning or written assessment and hypothetical situations (scenarios) may be used to assess underpinning knowledge (in assessment situations where the candidate is offered a preference between oral questioning or written assessment, questions are to be identical). Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence from existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. All practical demonstration must adhere to the safety and environmental regulations relevant to each State or Territory. Where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (recognition of current competencies [RCC] or recognition of prior learning [RPL]), the evidence provided will need to be authenticated and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time. In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge. Assessment processes will be appropriate to the language and literacy levels of the candidate and any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions, and will reflect the requirements of the competency and the work being performed. |
