Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to monitor and control the spatial components of projects, often in a supervisory capacity. It requires the ability to analyse and plan monitoring approaches to technical issues and management requirements. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

CPPSIS5011A Monitor and control the spatial components of projects

Element:

1 Plan the task.

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Design is interpreted to identify spatial components to be monitored or controlled.
1.2 Design is checked for internal consistencies.
1.3 Stakeholders are identified and consulted regarding task requirements according to organisational guidelines.
1.4 Project resources are identified and obtained.
1.5 Pertinent legal and statutory requirements and standards are researched, considered and adhered to.
1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in project delivery.

Element:

2 Execute the task

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Measured spatial data is reduced to project spatial reference system for comparison with design.
2.2 Impacts of contingencies are effectively managed.
2.3 Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications.
2.4 Checks are completed according to requirements.
2.5 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.

Element:

3 Finalise the task.

Performance Criteria:

3.1 Results are documented according to project specifications.
3.2 Relevant parties are informed of the results according to organisational guidelines.
3.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.

Overview of Assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:
• ability in spatial data reduction and manipulation
• accessing and interpreting design information to identify the components to be measured and monitored
• performing measurements
• planning resources
• relating to people with a range of physical and mental abilities
• managing contingencies
• communication skills to consult and negotiate with consultants and staff, recommend alternative ways of completing tasks, discuss changes in routine and procedures, and monitor and define objectives
• flexibility and ability to anticipate problems and modify systems and practices accordingly
• problem-solving skills to choose appropriate solutions from a range of possible alternatives
• time management skills using a range of planning tools.


Assessment Tasks

Assessment of this unit will involve completion of the simulated workplace project and the Evaluation of portfolio, using a checklist, of the performance of elements of competence as designated for this unit to the required standard including collection methods and techniques related to the project objectives.

Observation, using a skills checklist, of performance of elements of competence as designated for this unit to the required standard during practical fieldwork exercises within a simulated workplace project.


Assessment will require demonstration of:

• Consistence performance of each element of the unit across a representative range of applications, autonomously and to requirements
• Performance criteria for each element of competence
• Underpinning knowledge and skills specified.
