    Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO): 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING 
    Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made:

  • A learning programme is piloted by a practical presentation to a community-learning group 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING
