Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to coordinate geographic information system (GIS) data manipulation and analysis to meet client specifications. The unit covers analysing client needs and GIS data format requirements and developing procedures; assessing the applicability of existing tools, models, theories and applications; and developing models to achieve the required outcome, including feasible parameters, equations and assumptions. The unit also covers verifying data source integrity and manipulating and analysing data for presentation. The unit requires the ability to use computers and GIS software as well as querying and programming languages to capture geographic information, obtain information from databases, and create layers on maps. It also requires the ability to comply with organisational and legal requirements relating to client consultation and data ownership.The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, town planning, cartography, mapping and GIS.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 and software appropriate for manipulating GIS data

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.

relationships with clients:

client consultation required.

Timeframe:

as specified by task and organisational 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.

develop parameters, equations and assumptions to meet task requirements

develop procedures and establish models for data analysis that meet established client specifications for data format

analyse data sources to verify data integrity to ensure:

accuracy

completeness

confidence limits

currency

quality

resolution

scale

build up elements of a database

capture geographic information

manipulate and analyse datasets using general query and programming languages, scripts and command lines

use GIS software to manipulate and analyse data for display on a map

comply with organisational and legal requirements for:

client consultation

data ownership, including accessing and using spatial data, including copyright, intellectual property, data privacy and trade practices

comply with organisational requirements for recording data and completing documentation, and using screen-based equipment.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

data reduction and manipulation techniques

database structures and spatial features of databases

line instructions and programming languages to capture geographic information

methods for creating layers on maps
