Employability Skills Summary

Employability Skills Summary for PUA30701 Certificate III in Public Safety  (Firefighting Operations )

Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the PUA30701 Certificate III in Public Safety (Firefighting Operations) have been reproduced in the table below.
