Release 1 |
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS4036 Operate spatial software applications. |
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate spatial software applications to produce, name and store spatial documents. Spatial documents include documents that contain geographic content such as a map, plan, spreadsheet, graph, diagram. The unit includes planning work tasks and selecting and using suitable software and equipment to present, calculate and check spatial information.
This unit is suitable for entry-level technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply a range of methods, tools, materials and information to complete routine and non-routine activities and provide and transmit solutions to a variety of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.
Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
