Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1.
Replaces superseded non-equivalent CPPSIS2012A Assist in the collection of spatial data.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assist team members to collect basic spatial data in the field using surveying methods. Basic spatial data refers to measurements of distances, angles and height difference. The unit covers preparing for data collection by clarifying tasks and equipment to be used, and checking equipment for safe working order. The unit also covers participating in spatial data gathering activities, including recording data in the correct format and using equipment in a safe manner. It covers finalising work tasks by checking and storing equipment and reporting faults or problems, and completing and storing data and documentation. The unit requires the ability to follow instructions and communicate with team members, and to apply mathematical concepts used for basic surveying methods.
The unit supports those who work under direct supervision in a surveying team, in positions relating to field data collection and administration.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
