Course Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to collect data using basic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) equipment and to be able to use suitable software to communicate with a GNSS receiver. It requires the ability to combine technical application in a team environment with sound communication skills. Functions would be carried out under limited supervision and within organisational guidelines.
