This unit describes the skills required to conduct a field survey to determine fixation and orientation. This survey is normally conducted by at least two people. One person will be the observer and one will record data. This unit of competency covers both roles.

This unit was developed for combat arms personnel required to conduct a field survey to determine fixation and orientation in a deployed operational environment, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work as part of a two-man team under direct and/or indirect supervision. They would use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of contexts that could be unpredictable.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENTS	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.
1. Prepare for survey	1.1 Identify purpose and requirements of the survey from written or oral instructions from supervisor. 1.2 Confirm and clarify specifications of the survey with supervisor. 1.3 Select equipment required for the survey and check for serviceability.
2. Conduct survey	2.1 Operate survey equipment to determine orientation and fixation as determined by the survey scheme. 2.2 Record data from the survey in field book or other proforma. 2.3 Verify results for omissions and errors by re checking visual clues in measurements or actual data. 2.4 Communicate survey data. 2.5 Establish and record survey control points. 2.6 Liaise with supervisor and colleagues regularly throughout the survey activity to ensure smooth operation and progress. 2.7 Maintain survey equipment.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

using communication systems

interpreting data

recording information

using equipment including at least one of:

GPS orientation and fixation equipment

gyroscopic orientation equipment

angular measurement equipment

compass

distance measurement devices

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

analytical processes

characteristics, tabulated data and limitations of the survey equipment

communication procedures

principles of survey

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
