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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Plan surveying tasks. | 1.1. | Task requirements and principal work activities are identified and clarified with appropriate persons. |
| 1.2. | Design information is reviewed to identify components to be measured in consultation with appropriate persons. |
| 1.3. | Surveying equipment is selected to meet task requirements, and set up according to manufacturer specifications. |
| 1.4. | Hazards are identified and risks managed, and problems are reported according to organisational requirements. |
| | | |
2. | Execute surveying tasks. | 2.1. | Equipment is operated and adjusted as required to measure identified survey components according to task and organisational requirements. |
| 2.2. | Measured surveying data is reduced for comparison with design and manipulated to meet task and organisational requirements. |
| 2.3. | Data is checked against task requirements, and errors are identified and resolved in consultation with appropriate persons. |
| 2.4. | Measurements are validated and recorded according to industry-accepted standards and organisational requirements. |
| 2.5. | Team activities are performed according to task and organisational requirements. |
| | | |
3. | Finalise surveying tasks. | 3.1. | Surveying task is finalised and data processed according to task and organisational requirements. |
| 3.2. | Documentation is completed and data stored according to organisational requirements. |
| 3.3. | Equipment is checked, and faults and problems are reported according to manufacturer and organisational requirements. |

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also operate the following surveying equipment for spatial data capture or data set-out for two different surveying tasks:
hand-held global positioning system (GPS) in single point positioning mode for:
determining point position
navigating and recording a traverse
collecting designated attributes for designated features
automatic, digital or laser level
total station.
In addition, while capturing or setting out surveying data for the above surveying tasks, the person must use two of the following pieces of surveying equipment:
compass
clinometer
data recording equipment
digital or hard copy map or image
distance measuring wheel
hand-held laser measuring device
tape.
While capturing or setting out the above spatial data, the person must:
plan work activities to meet design and task specifications
communicate clearly with others to clarify work tasks and report problems and errors relating to data or equipment
accurately perform the following:
checks to validate measurements and identify potential faults and problems with equipment
data manipulations and reductions
measurements and computations that meet industry-accepted standards for accuracy, including calculating horizontal and vertical information
comply with organisational, legislative and manufacturer requirements in order to work safely, including:
using personal protective equipment (PPE)
complying with relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)
identifying and managing hazards and risks
cooperate with team members to operate equipment
follow manufacturer specifications and standard operating procedures to correctly set up, operate, pack up and store surveying equipment and tools
use organisational proformas to accurately record measurements and data.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
accepted organisational standards for recording metadata
attributes associated with a spatial dataset
key features of spatial reference systems
limitations of the surveying equipment specified in the performance evidence
