The National Occupational Standards are a set of job-related standards
which highlight the performance expected when carrying out a specific
occupation at a specific level. These standards define the main jobs that
people carry out, and links qualifications to the requirements of the labour
market. These standards are pegged to the Malta Qualifications framework and
are thus compiled using the Learning Outcomes approach, which is achieved by
stipulating knowledge, skills and competences. Such standards are then reviewed
by the Sector Skills Units which include a number of industry relevant
stakeholders, such as the economic sector, education and training, government
and social partners.
