Unit of competency
Modification History
|
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS5064 Coordinate GIS data manipulation and analysis. |
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to coordinate spatial data manipulation and analysis to meet task specifications. It includes analysing task needs and geographic information system (GIS) data format requirements, assessing potential analysis tools and models, and identifying the limitations of analysis results. The unit also includes verifying data source integrity, manipulating and analysing data, and preparing results to inform decision-making.
This unit is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information 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.
