Have your say

A national project is underway to review the vocational education and training (VET) qualifications and associated units of competency in Surveying and Spatial Information Services. These VET qualifications play an important role in developing the skills and knowledge required to enter the industry and provide pathways to higher education programs for those who want to become licenced and registered surveyors or spatial information specialists.

WEBINAR

To provide information about the surveying and spatial information services project and the proposed changes to the qualifications, a webinar is planned for:

Friday 3 April 2020, 3.00 pm – 4.30 pm.
Register HERE for the webinar.

TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK

We are requesting input from industry stakeholders and welcome your feedback on the qualifications and units of competency - do they meet industry requirements and accurately reflect job functions and work activities? Are there any gaps?

To assist in collating feedback we are using an online questionnaire. See the link below.

The questionnaire will be open until 30 April 2020. Feedback will be reviewed by the TAG and used to guide further work. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback on subsequent drafts.
