Evidence of the following is essential:
preparation of written and verbal information that enables decisions to be made about the suitability of sites
ability to negotiate access to sites with sensitivity and good faith in relation to the rights of owners and authorities

evaluation of location documentation produced by the candidate, including discussion with candidate about the process followed to organise locations
written or oral questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.
