Reviewing Learning and Development Standards
Lifelong Learning UK is currently reviewing the National Occupational Standards for Learning & Development. The standards were last updated by ENTO in 2001 and the suite will be reviewed to ensure they are 'fit for purpose' and reflect the functions for which they were written.
The review has been conducted in stages. The first stage involved a period of research exploring the current use of the standards, how changes in practice have impacted on the standards and how other standards from the NOS Directory relate to the Learning and Development suite.
The second consultation stage was completed in December 2009. This involved a number of consultation events and other options to invite comment on the draft standards (revised based on the outputs of the first research stage). These events also explored the qualifications to be related to the newly proposed standards.
The review outcomes will include a revised suite of Standards which reflect current practice, as well as recommendations on future qualification provision.
