National Occupational Standards Development
Work has started developing the new National Occupational Standards (NOS). We have consulted with the Awarding Bodies and are well underway with Expert Working Groups who are reviewing, revising and developing new standards where necessary.
This phase will be followed by a wider industry consultation process, including consultation with employers, Awarding Bodies, our Quality Improvement Groups across the nations, training providers and any other interested parties, before final approval by the Expert Working Groups.
For the latest standards that are currently under review please see the NOS consultation link above or click here.
If you would like more information on the NOS development programme please email Beverley Liilley beverleyl@motor.org.uk
National Occupational Standards
The Institute of the Motor Industry is responsible for setting the National Occupational Standards for all sectors of the automotive industry. National occupational standards have been developed to cover
• the technical areas of the industry
• parts operations
• sales operations
• management, in the form of the Automotive Retail Management Standards (ARMs).
National Occupational Standards are presented in the form of units and they describe the different functions carried out by people working in the different sectors of the industry. Each unit shows the outcomes of competent performance and includes the essential knowledge and understanding that someone needs to function effectively.
