Components of NOS
According to the SSDA, a unit of NOS must comprise:
- Title, reflecting the content of the NOS
- Overview, an introductory section providing a brief summary of the NOS to help the user judge whether it is relevant to them
- Performance criteria, defining in detail what is expected of the individual
- Knowledge and understanding, what the individual needs to know and/or understand to enable them to meet the performance criteria
NOS may also have sections covering:
- Scope, specifying the range of circumstances or situations that have a critical impact on the activity when carrying out the performance criteria
- Elements. A NOS can be divided into two or more discrete elements which describe the activities the person has to carry out.
- Values and behaviours, the personal attributes an individual is expected to demonstrate within the NOS.
