Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to design and develop spreadsheets to enter, edit and format spatial data. The unit covers using functions and features of spreadsheet software, including linked spreadsheets, multiple documents and advanced mathematical formulas based on trigonometrical functions. The unit also covers work preparation activities, including evaluating tasks to identify design parameters and setting up software and spreadsheet templates to ensure quality and consistency in format and design. The unit requires the ability to use technology to apply advanced mathematical concepts to spatial data, including identifying and resolving errors relating to formulas and other spreadsheet functions.The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or 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 appropriate spreadsheet software

printer

specifications:

organisational policies, procedures and documentation relating to 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 spreadsheet tasks.
  • Spreadsheet requirements for spatial data entry, storage, output, reporting and presentation are identified to determine task requirements in consultation with appropriate persons.
  • Tasks are evaluated to identify design parameters, required mathematical formulas and areas where automation would increase efficiency according to task requirements.
  • Software is set up and checked to ensure functionality and capacity to meet task and organisational requirements.
       
Element: Set up spreadsheets.
  • Spreadsheet templates are developed and edited to standardise spreadsheet operation and ensure quality and consistency in format and design.
  • Linked worksheet solution is developed using software functions and formulas to meet task requirements.
  • Worksheets are formatted to incorporate cell and data attributes, formulas and graphs with labels and titles.
  • Formulas are tested to confirm that output meets task requirements and errors are identified and resolved or contingencies managed.
       
Element: Use functions and features of spreadsheet software.
  • Spatial data is entered, checked and edited according to task and organisational requirements.
  • Spatial data is imported and exported between compatible spreadsheets, and host documents are adjusted according to task requirements.
  • Software documentation and online help are used to overcome problems with spreadsheet design and production.
  • Spreadsheets, including graphs, are produced and stored according to organisational requirements.
       
Element: Finalise spreadsheets.
  • Completed spreadsheets are protected to prevent accidental corruption and are archived according to organisational requirements.
  • Documentation is completed and appropriate persons are informed of results according to organisational requirements.
