Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
Work must be carried out in compliance with the regulations of the relevant state/territory roads and traffic authorities.
Work is performed under general or limited supervision. It involves the application of map reading principles and procedures to the planning and navigation of routes as part of transport operations route.
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan and navigate routes as part of transport operations, including interpreting information from a road map, street directory and a GPS (Global Positioning System) device, planning the most appropriate route taking into account pertinent factors, and completing required trip documentation in accordance with operational requirements
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
