Course Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to implement a spatial information services (SIS) project plan. It requires well-developed communication skills and the ability to apply in substantial depth skills and knowledge to a wide variety of spatial contexts to meet project deliverables, often in a supervisory capacity. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
