Course outcomes Standards 1, 2 and 3 for Accredited Courses 4.1 Qualification level The Certificate IV in Landscape Design is consistent with the AQF as defined in the AQF Implementation Handbook. The Certificate IV qualifies individuals who a broad range of specialized knowledge and skills in varied contexts to undertake skilled work and as a pathway for further learning in the field of landscape design.
Physical properties of soil may include but are not limited to: • soil structure • soil texture • reactivity to the varying amounts of water present in a soil Effects may include but are not limited to: • loss of overall integrity of constructed elements • foundation movement in constructed features • cracking in masonry features • degradation of constructed elements due to contact with poorly drained soils Drainage patterns may include but are not limited to: • natural flow of surface water • infiltration rates • water movement through soil profile Factors may include but are not limited to: • expected use • load bearing requirements • type of soil • drainage characteristics of site Properties may include but are not limited to: • strength • shrinkage • defects • availability • cost • • porosity • evenness • durability • colour • surface texture • thermal expansion/contraction • quality classes/grades Treatments may include but are not limited to: • sealants • preservatives • coatings • abrasives •
Environmental and ecological implications may include but are not limited to: Environmental implications: • consumption of natural resources • impact of actions on the environment • energy and water strategies • the life-cycle performance of materials • atmospheric pollution • the generation and management of waste Ecological implications: • the use of the site with regard to the biodiversity of natural systems • responding to microclimates and natural energy • the provision of habitat and wildlife corridors • impacts on plants, animals and humans Economic considerations may include but are not limited to: • budget parameters • developing a cost effective design • durability of design and materials • the long-term maintenance requirements and on going costs of the landscape Societal values may include but are not limited to: • business ethics • fair trading • human and animal rights • the human relationship with nature • effective protection of the environment • considered use of natural resources • enhancement of natural systems • responsibilities in meeting current needs without compromising future generations • the involvement of local community and professionals from different sectors Legislation, standards, policies and procedures may include but are not limited to: • State Environment Protection Policies • Commonwealth, State and Local Government Acts, Regulations and Codes of Practice • Environmental Management Systems • ISO 14000 Standards from International Organization for Standardization • UN Local Agenda 21 - the Rio Declaration on Environment
through a combination of both. This unit could be assessed with other units to provide a holistic approach. Assessment methods could include: • oral and/or written questioning to assess knowledge of drawing conventions and features, appropriate notations and labelling • oral and/or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant standards, statutory and authority requirements for safe work methods • completion of drawings/concepts sketches • written documentation of measurements and site details • third party reports supporting the evidence gathered
