The National Occupational Standards
represent a benchmark of industry-specified best practice of performance and
underpinning knowledge and understanding and provide a powerful multi-purpose
tool for the sector. They are designed to improve the performance of Industry,
by enhancing the performance of people in the workplace and by helping to inform
training and vocational education about contemporary industry needs. Extensive
work has been carried out to review this web-accessed database of generic
Occupational Standards for the Built Environment to ensure they reflect changing
industry needs.
NOS are
specifically developed and structured and in a consistent format for a wide
variety of potential applications. The sector has developed a wide range of
specific guidance to assist employers, practitioners, education and training
providers, awarding bodies, professional institutions, the SSC etc. in a wide
variety of individual, organisational and sector applications. The use of NOS as
a ‘common currency’ for the sector is a fundamental principle.
