Some five years ago, England launched a new scheme of 'trailblazer' apprenticeships for a variety of vocational qualifications, including technicians in heavy goods and passenger-carrying vehicles. That led to the development of a number of new standards by industry groups.However, the devolved nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all chose to carry on with the existing framework apprenticeship system. Over the past six months, in response to a call from Skills Development Scotland, a number of automotive national occupational standards (NOS) have been formally reviewed by industry experts recruited by project manager IMI. These include standards for technician roles in heavy vehicle, first, and latterly bus and coach. The results of the bus and coach standards review went out for consultation last month. |
