PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
This unit standard has been developed for the surveying occupational area and is in-tended for persons who aim to achieve career advancement by gaining surveying skills leading to a qualification based on unit standards. A person who has successfully com-pleted this unit standard will be able to determine quantities from plotted data. In any working environment
A person credited with this unit standard is able to: |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
NQF Level 3 numeracy and literacy, the ability to plot tape and offset measurements on a plan and obtain information from a plan will facilitate better understanding and proficiency in this unit standard.
Recognition of prior learning; Any learner wishing to be assessed may arrange to do so without having to attend ad-ditional education and training. The learner and assessor will decide jointly on the most appropriate assessment procedure. |
