Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct a precision survey, including techniques for precise levelling, precise setting out and industrial measurements, and detecting structural deflection and deformation. The unit covers preparing for precision surveying by analysing project specifications and information, and identifying and controlling risks and contingencies. The unit also covers selecting and using specialised equipment, attachments and instruments necessary for precise levelling and setting out, and checking horizontal and vertical movement of structures. The unit requires the ability to apply high level surveying computations to surveying problems, including conducting statistical analysis of measurements and errors to achieve specified accuracies and tolerances. The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying 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:

PPE

specialised surveying equipment, attachments and instruments selected from those listed in the performance evidence

remote measuring system selected from those listed in the performance evidence

specifications:

survey specifications, including relevant plans and drawings

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working in a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by 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.
