NATIONAL SKILLS
QUALIFICATION (NSQ)
OBJECTIVE: What is
National Skills Qualification (NSQ)?
Ø Work
related, competence based qualification with skills assessed at both the training
centre and workplace.
Ø NSQs
are qualifications that show an understanding of the theory of the work in progress
and also the competency of the individual as evidenced in their specific job
role issued by a recognised awarding body
Ø NSQs
reflect the skills and knowledge needed to do the job effectively and reward
you for the skills you already have.
Ø NSQs
are about practical performance as well as knowledge & understanding
Ø NSQ
standards are sector specific set by the industry themselves
Ø The
standards say what a competent person in a job could be expected to do
The
standards have two main divisions:
Ø
Performance which is
carrying out the job
Ø
Knowledge that people
need to carry out the job. In other words they need to know why they are doing
the job.
In
order that performance and knowledge can be measured against these standards, they
are split up into separate subject headings known as uits. The units describe
the skills and knowledge needed to do the job effectively. The units describe
the skills and knowledge needed to do the job effectively. The units are
subdivided into two categories:
Ø Mandatory
units; are the ones that have to be completed and relate to tasks common to all
activities.
Ø Operational
units; relate to more specific aspects of a job role and enable the
qualification to be tailored to suit the individual
Employees
will be trained and assessed at their normal place of work. An NSQ can be
completed as a standalone qualification. Taking NSQs could be appropriate if
you already have skills and want to improve them, or if you are starting from
scratch. NSQs are open to all ages.
NSQs
are quite different from conventional qualifications; they are about showing
others that people are competent to do the job. They require that people can
consistently show to an assessor that they can do the job competently and
answer questions associated with the job.
