Standards and Qualifications
National Occupational Standards   (NOS) describe what an individual needs to do, know and understand in order to carry out a particular job role or function.

With a formal launch in Autumn 2005, the NOS Directory website can be accessed from now onwards in its evolving stages, via www.ukstandards.org.uk.The Skills for Business network would welcome your feedback on the site.

The NOS Directory provides free public access to the full range of National Occupational Standards, signposting users of the website to the relevant Sector Skills Council or standards setting body for further information.This will be the first time that people can access all NOS from one place and is a useful tool for a range of people including employers, individuals, education and training providers, partners and funders.

The website provides information on National Occupational Standards, including their uses and benefits, as well as latest news on developments.The website also enables users to search for and access the National Occupational Standards that match their requirements.

Vocational Qualifications are achieved against these set standards.
