This portfolio is organised around 13 core GIS competencies.
The overview shows the current state of the portfolio. A competency is marked as demonstrated only when the corresponding work has been completed and the available evidence supports the capability described on the competency page.

Demonstrated competencies
01 — Data sourcing & inspection
Inspecting an unfamiliar spatial dataset, importing it without changing it, and verifying the import. See also the technical evidence.
02 — Data cleaning
Finding and fixing different kinds of data problems on a working copy, testing each change first and recovering from a mistake. See also the technical evidence.
Remaining competencies
The other eleven competencies in the table are part of the framework but have no published evidence yet. They will be added as the supporting work is completed and verified.
How to read the competency pages
Each published competency follows the same general structure:
- Demonstrated abilities — the practical capability demonstrated.
- Professional knowledge — the concepts relevant to the competency.
- Evidence — the work supporting the capability.
- Quality and verification — how the work was checked.
- Evidence boundaries — what the evidence does and does not demonstrate.
- Professional capability demonstrated — a concise evidence-based statement.
The detailed technical material is kept separately in Technical Evidence so that the main competency pages remain focused on professional capability rather than becoming a record of individual commands or procedures.
The framework is fixed and the evidence grows over time. See About for how evidence is evaluated.
