Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to prepare and present a range of geographic information system (GIS) data using various media. The unit covers consulting and assessing to identify display specifications, and selecting and applying appropriate data formats and presentation media. The unit also covers gathering feedback as the basis for implementing quality improvements. It requires the ability to translate client requirements into an appropriate design and layout, and to adhere to copyright requirements and drawing standards to ensure quality of output. The unit supports those who work in technical support positions in a surveying and spatial information services team.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

computer with access to suitable software

hardware, including plotter or printer

high resolution computer screen

specifications:

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

work health and safety

data privacy and information copyright

physical conditions:

access to equipped work station

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working in a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by client and project requirements.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for display of GIS data.
  • Display specifications are determined in consultation with appropriate persons.
  • Extent, content and intended use of output are assessed, and display format and medium are selected according to organisational requirements.
  • Hardware, software and other equipment are set up and checked to ensure correct operation and functionality, and that compliance requirements are met.
       
Element: Format GIS data.
  • Spatial datasets are accessed and compiled to meet display specifications.
  • Data formats are transformed to meet specifications.
  • Formatted data is checked to ensure compatibility and quality according to display specifications.
       
Element: Display GIS data.
  • Spatial data is presented according to display specifications and organisational requirements.
  • Feedback on display is obtained from appropriate persons using simple question and answer process.
  • Feedback is analysed to identify improvements, and display is rectified according to organisational requirements.
