Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:
• applying cost consideration
• applying qualitative and quantitative measurements for a project
• assessing and acting upon contingencies
• communication and negotiation skills
• determining a collection and validation process based on thorough assessment of all relevant considerations
• managing risks and contingencies
• working towards set targets
• understanding spatial project deliverables.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment of this unit will involve completion of Assignments 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.
