Sector Skills Councils and standards setting organisations

How can Sector Skills Councils and other standards setting organisations use National Occupational Standards (NOS)?

Sector Skills Councils and a small number of other standards setting organisations work with employers and partners to develop the National Occupational Standards for the industries, sectors and occupations they cover.
 
Sector Skills Councils and standards setting organisations can use this website to find out what other NOS exist in different sectors and occupations when reviewing and developing their own NOS.
 
SSCs and standards setting organisations develop, maintain and update NOS as the needs of industry change, as work patterns shift, and as new operational practices, legislation and technologies are introduced.
 
To find out more about how you can use and benefit from NOS, please contact the relevant Sector Skills Council or standards setting organisation for your sector.
