UNIT STANDARD CCFO SCIENCE

Use science and technology effectively - relates to specific outcomes.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

This unit standard has been replaced by unit standard 258855, which is "Operate and maintain cashiering equipment", Level 3, 4 credits.

Recommendations and Exemplars for the design of:

Learning / Curriculum

Learning should include the day to day use of cashier equipment specified in the range.

The learner should be able to check for malfunctions and follow all reporting procedures where appropriate.

Special emphasis should be placed on the importance of equipment being maintained in good working order at all times.

Performance systems

Ongoing measurement of the learner's ability to meet this standard is recommended.

A new employee should be able to achieve this unit within 2 months of being trained.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
