The Sector Skills Council for the places where we live and work
Careers Advice Line 0800 056 7160
National Occupational Standards (NOS) have been produced as a result of work done by Asset Skills and a wide range of those engaged in the local land charges and property information for the personal search companies sector including employers, professional bodies.
National Occupational Standards (NOS) and the qualifications derived from them describe full occupational competence and as such they complement but are different from training courses and professional and educational qualifications.
The NOS are for those working at levels 3 and 4.
Level 3 is defined as "Achievement at level 3 reflects the ability to identify and use relevant understanding, methods and skills to complete tasks and address problems that, while well defined, have a measure of complexity. It includes taking responsibility for initiating and completing tasks and procedures as well as exercising autonomy and judgement within limited parameters. It also reflects awareness of different perspectives or approaches with an area of study or work.
Level 4 is defined as "Achievement at level 4 reflects the ability to identify and use relevant understanding, methods and skills to address problems that are well defined but complex and non-routine. It includes taking responsibility for overall courses of action as well as exercising autonomy and judgement within fairly broad parameters. It also reflects understanding of different perspectives or approaches within an area of study or work.
