Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:
• matching objectives with resources to ensure project proceeds in an organised and timely manner
• ensuring that achievement of required accuracy has been attempted by:
• accessing and interpreting design information to identify the components to be measured and monitored
• applying solutions to a range of problems
• documenting and reporting
• managing contingencies
• organising and prioritising activity
• performing measurements
• planning resources
• reducing and manipulating spatial data
• ensuring that non-conformity aspects are recorded and reported
• taking responsibility for team outputs in work and learning.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment of this unit will involve completion of Assignments and test.
