National Occupational Standards - Components of NOS

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.
