Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.
Replaces superseded non-equivalent CPPSIS3015A Collect spatial data.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to collect basic surveying data using measurements taken in the field. Basic surveying data refers to measurements of distances, angles and height difference with accuracy of one centimetre or better. The unit covers preparing for data collection by clarifying the data collection tasks and equipment to be used, and identifying and reporting hazards. The unit also covers operating equipment to take basic surveying measurements, and performing required data reductions and computations to ensure the accuracy of collected data before leaving the field. It requires the ability to follow standard operating procedures for setting up, using, checking and storing equipment; and completing records and documentation.
The unit supports those who work under supervision in a surveying and spatial information services team, in positions relating to field data collection.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
