EVIDENCE GUIDE

Method of assessment

Demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the
assessor (or assessment team working togethe
r to conduct the
assessment).

Demonstrated competency in a range of situations, which
may include customer/workplace interruptions and
involvement in related activities normally experienced in the
workplace.

Obtained by observing activities in the field an
d reviewing
induction information. If this is not practicable, observation
in realistic simulated environments may be substituted.

EVIDENCE GUIDE

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance
criteria, required skills and
knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training
Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or in
combination with other units relevant to the job function
.

Critical aspects for
assessment and evidence
required to demonstrate
competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be
able to provide evidence of:

•

formatting data into a compatible format

•

presenting
GIS

data

in a manner that meets organisationa
l
and client needs

•

knowledge of presentation methods.

Specific resources for
assessment

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

•

assessment instruments, including personal planner and
assessment record book

•

assignment instructions, work
plans and schedules, policy
documents and duty statements

•

registered training provider of assessment services

•

relevant GIS

•

relevant guidelines, regulations and codes of practice

•

suitable venue and equipment.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning
and assessment
support when required.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment

EVIDENCE GUIDE

Method of assessment

Demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the
assessor (or assessment team working together to conduct the
assessment).

Demonstrated competency in a range of situations, which may
include customer/workplac
e interruptions and involvement in
related activities normally experienced in the workplace.

Obtained by observing activities in the field and reviewing
induction information. If this is not practicable, observation in
realistic simulated environments may
be substituted.

Guidance information
for assessment

Assessment requires that the clients’ objectives and industry
expectations are met. If the clients’ objectives are narrowly

EVIDENCE GUIDE

The evidence guide
provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance
criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training
Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could b
e assessed on its own or in
combination with other units relevant to the job function, for
example CPPSIS504
8
A Conduct an engineering survey,
CPPSIS504
9
A Conduct an engineering surveying project, and
CPPSIS505
7
A Carry out a precision survey.

Critical aspe
cts for
assessment and evidence
required to demonstrate
competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be
able to provide evidence of:

•

matching objectives with resources to meet

project
deadlines

•

applying geophysics
processes to survey practices

•

measuring a range of components
relating to

underground
services

•

knowledge of geophysics methods.

Specific resources for
assessment

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

•

assessment instruments, including per
sonal planner and
assessment record book

•

assignment instructions, work plans and schedules, policy
documents and duty statements

•

registered training provider of assessment services

•

relevant guidelines, regulations and codes of practice

•

suitable venue and e
quipment.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and
assessment support when required.

Where applicable, physical resources should include
equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Context of assessment

Holistic: based on the performance
criteria, evidence guide,
range statement and required skills and knowledge.

Method of assessment

Demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the
assessor (or assessment team working together to conduct the
assessment).

Demonstrated competency in a

range of situations, which may
include customer/workplace interruptions and involvement in
related activities normally experienced in the workplace.

Obtained by observing activities in the field and reviewing
induction information. If this is not practica
ble, observation in
realistic simulated environments may be substituted.
