Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5032A Capture new spatial data.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to capture new spatial data to meet client specifications using a variety of data capture methodologies. The unit covers analysing project specifications, as well as organisational, administrative and legal requirements, to coordinate human resources, equipment and supplies. The unit also covers setting up and using specialist surveying equipment and technologies to capture and manipulate spatial data, including entities, attributes, topological features and metadata; and checking and validating the integrity and accuracy of results. In addition, the unit covers performing the operational maintenance of equipment to ensure its sound working order, and identifying faults and organising repairs as required. The unit requires the ability to use project management techniques to schedule, monitor and report on project activities, and supervisory skills to designate work and provide guidance to staff.

The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, cartography, town planning, mapping or geographic information systems (GIS).

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
