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
• performing measurements
• planning resources
• applying solutions to a range of problems
• documenting and reporting
• GPS data reduction
• organising and prioritising activity
• 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 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.
Assessment Matrix
