New QCF Learning and Development Standards and Qualifications Launched

It's the 31st March 2001 and just as the old Learning and Development standards cease the New QCF Learning and Development Standards and Qualifications are officially launched.

The NOS are designed for learning and development practitioners who are involved in developing and assessing the skills, knowledge and competence of learners primarily in the workplace or in work-related programmes of learning. They apply therefore to the following types of job roles in the lifelong learning sector for which learning and development is the main purpose:

• in-house trainers and training managers;
• external trainers, managers and consultants;
• assessors;
• verifiers.

In addition, individual NOS will be valuable to staff in all sectors who have an learning and development function as part of their job role; for example:

• workplace managers and supervisors;
• experienced staff with responsibility for developing colleagues with less experience, skills and knowledge;
• assessors;
• verifiers.

The NOS on which the new qualifications are based reflect the well-established 'Learning and Development Cycle'.
