About National Occupational Standards (NOS)

They can be used to:

-
Provide managers with a tool for a wide variety of workforce management and quality control
-
Offer a framework for training and development
-
Form the basis of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) and other vocationally related qualifications.
Have your say

To participate, current practitioners should be experienced in the field being covered and be able to provide the level of detail required to ensure that the Standards (NOS) reflects current industry practice.
