SKILL
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Interprets numerical information to calibrate equipment and measure and assess signal strength
|
|
Oral Communication
|
- Uses active listening, observational and questioning techniques to confirm information and using technical language appropriate to audience and environment
|
|
Reading
|
- Gathers, interprets and analyses information from a range of sources and identifies relevant and key information
|
|
Writing
|
- Prepares required documentation detailing finalised process in a logical manner using cohesive language
|
|
Planning and organising
|
- Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes to ensure work is completed according to time constraints and an increasingly intuitive understanding of context to identify relevant information and risks
|
|
Self-management
