Employability Skills Summary

Employability Skills are part of a unit of competency.

Employability Skills statements from a selection of units of competency from the PUA40313 Certificate IV in Public Safety (Firefighting Supervision) have been reproduced in the table below.

This table provides an example of Employability Skills for the qualification because Employability Skills within a qualification will vary depending on the qualification packaging options.

Public Safety qualifications have core units (which must be achieved) and elective units (where there is a choice of units which must be achieved) so different Employability Skills Summaries are possible within the one qualification, depending on the package of core units and chosen elective units.

Packaging Rules

11 units of competency are required for this qualification including:

• 3 core units
• 8 elective units

Choose a minimum of 6 elective units from the list below.

Choose the remaining 2 elective units from either the list below, or elsewhere within this training package, or another endorsed training package, or accredited course.

Only 1 elective unit may be chosen from the Group B list.

Only 2 elective units in total may be chosen from Groups B & C.

All elective units selected from outside this qualification must be from an equivalent qualification level or higher.

Elective units selected must not duplicate content already covered by other units in this qualification.

Where a pre-requisite unit is attached to an elective unit it is identified by this symbol ∟.

The pre-requisite units attached to any of the elective units must be undertaken and are additional to the number of elective units required for the qualification.

Elective units selected must not duplicate content already covered by other units in this qualification.
