Course Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use a range of digital applications in architectural workflows. It includes the ability to determine the appropriate digital applications required for specific project outputs and the application of architectural standards and conventions to
produce and manage the project. Work is likely to be undertaken with limited supervision and in consultation with team members and external consultants.

Overview of Assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate building design workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. Holistic or project-based assessment with other related units is recommended.
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
• apply organisational policies and procedures, including occupational health and safety and quality assurance requirements, where applicable
• comply with copyright and trade practices legislation and organisational privacy and security policies and procedures
• produce digitally generated information for an architectural project
• collaborate and consult with team members and outside agencies
• meet the criteria of the project brief to the required standard and within allocated timelines.
