In their essential form, NOS describe functions, standards of performance and knowledge/understanding. A set of NOS, aligned to a certain job role along with their NSQF level form a "Qualification Pack". The Qualification Packs are divided as per the four sub-sectors and can be used for creation of curriculum and assessments. 45 Qualification Packs (Service Providers, Network Management, Handset Segment & Passive Infrastructure) have been approved and are live on our website.

Download the List of our Job roles

National Occupational Standards (NOS) are:

National because they are applicable to every part of India.

Occupational because they describe the performance required of an individual when carrying out certain functions in the workplace.

Standards because they are set by the industry and are statements of effective performance, which have been agreed upon by a representative sample of employers and other stakeholders.

National Occupational Standards (NOS) specify the standards of performance an individual must achieve when carrying out a function in the workplace, together with the knowledge and understanding he/she needs to meet that standard consistently. Essentially NOS are benchmarks of good practice.

The developing usage of NOS also reflects the current desire of industries to agree to national standards of competence, descriptions of skills, and a common ‘vocabulary’ among trainees, employers and training providers.

Stages in development of NOS:

Occupational Mapping: Identify key stakeholders in the telecom sector and understand their organizational structure.

Functional Analysis: Analyze the activities individuals are expected to do as part of their job and identify outcomes that these individuals should achieve.

Development of NOS: It incorporates performance criteria, together with knowledge, understanding and skills pertaining to a job.

Approval of NOS: It will be validated by small, medium and large industry players (minimum 10 employers per category), and then by Qualification Ratification Committee (QRC) at NSDC.

Supporting the Implementation of NOS: All key stakeholders willdrive the validation and implementation of NOS.

Maintain relevance and currency of NOS: It will be developed taking into account current industry requirements. Periodic review will be done to maintain currency of occupational standard.
