Course Description

In this course you will develop the skills and knowledge required to use technology and software applications to integrate spatial datasets captured using surveying methods and equipment. This includes importing or downloading, editing, checking and validating measured datasets. The course also includes processing and comparing integrated datasets to check accuracy and resolve errors and finalising the process by archiving data and completing documentation.

This course is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.

Assessment conditions	Describe how assessments meet the assessment conditions
Assessors must satisfy the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.	RMIT employment requires all trainers and assessors to comply with the Standards for RTOs in respect to holding the TAE40116, or higher VE qualification including any necessary updated units.  All employees must show currency within their vocational specialty along with their professional employment.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting where these skills and knowledge would be performed.	Both Project are to be conducted at the RMIT Bundoora West Campus or City using existing Government control networks data to closely simulate industry procedures.
Candidates must have access to:  computer with software appropriate for integrating surveying datasets.	Students have access to all accessories to simulate these projects. This includes specialised software like Liscad for network adjustments, analysis and visualisation of data. Students have access to engineering drawings and design plans to assist in the process of simulating these projects.

Interim Results

After you have submitted an assessment, you will receive an interim result. This is displayed in the Grades section of this Canvas shell. These will be as follows:

Results	Description
Satisfactory (S)	You will receive this interim result when you meet all of the following criteria: You have submitted your assessment by the due date and time. You have attended the required minimum attendance for this course. You have met all the assessment requirements, and your Trainer/Assessor deems that you have satisfactorily completed the assessment.
Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS)	You will receive this interim result when you meet one or more of the following criteria: You have not attended the required minimum attendance for this course. You have not met one or more of the assessment requirements, and your Trainer/Assessor deems that you have not satisfactorily completed the assessment.
Did Not Submit (DNS)	You will receive this result when you have not submitted your assessment by the due date or time. Your Trainer/Assessor, the Program Coordinator or the Program Manager cannot overturn this interim result. An approved Special Consideration is required to allow further opportunities to complete the assessment. Additionally, moderation panels cannot overturn this result either.

 

Note: You must achieve a Satisfactory (S) result for every assessment in this course in order to pass.

 

Interim results will inform the moderation panel of their decision as to whether or not you are deemed competent and can pass the course. Your final and official result will be published via My Results on RMIT's website. It is your responsibility to check your final results. Your Trainer/Assessor, the Program Coordinator or the Program Manager will not inform you of your final result.

 

Resubmission Policy:

After you submit your assessment, your Trainer/Assessor will review your submission. If you have met all the requirements of the assessment task, you will receive an S result in your Grades section of this course.

 

If the Trainer/Assessor determines that you have not met the assessment requirements, you will receive an NYS result in the Grades section. In this case, your Trainer/Assessor will provide you with the following opportunities to resubmit:

• Project/Practical-Based Assessment Task: One Resubmission per assessment.
• Knowledge-Based Assessment Task (Tests): Two Resubmissions per assessment

Important: If you do not submit an assessment by its due date or time, you are not entitled to a resubmission. You will only receive an opportunity to submit an assessment that you have failed to submit on time if you provide an approved Special Consideration. Your Trainer/Assessor, Program Coordinator & Program Manager or the Moderation panel cannot overturn a DNS result without approved Special Consideration.

 

*Resubmissions cannot be accepted via email or as attachments to the comments of another assessment. Any work submitted in this manner will not be accepted or recognised, regardless of the circumstances. All resubmissions must be uploaded via the original submission folder and by the due date and time set by the Trainer/Assessor.

 

**Your Trainer/Assessor, Program Coordinator or Program Manager cannot issue further resubmission opportunities beyond those stated here. You will only be provided with further opportunities based on the successful application for Special Consideration or upon the course moderation panel's review and decision at the course's end.

 

Attendance:

You are required to attend a minimum of 85% of your classes. If you miss classes, you will need to provide a medical certificate to your Trainer/Assessor for classes that result in you not meeting the 85% requirement.

 

If you fail to attend the minimum required classes and engage in each class, your trainer/assessor will not accept your assessment submissions. You will be required to attend an in-person interview with your trainer/assessor at a time determined by them. Failure to attend this interview will result in your assessment being rejected. Additionally, the trainer/assessor reserves the right to reject your assessment based on the interview's outcome. This is required to ensure RMIT meets the Standards set for RTOs to ensure the validity of your work.
