Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to review diagnostic testing models, analyse their performance, contextualise the test for a range of tree domains and execute a diagnostic test project.The unit applies to individuals with highly specialised advanced theoretical and technical knowledge for professional work and research in arboriculture. They exercise advanced cognitive, technical and communication skills and demonstrate complete autonomy, judgement and adaptability in research and analysis for complex problems.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements are to this unit at the time of publication.
