For many years there has been no standard or benchmark against
which to assess competence. We have been assessing personnel, but
not against nationally recognised standards. Therefore, to ensure
that we have a safe and competent workforce national occupational
standards (NOS) for all fire service roles have been established.
These standards allow us to objectively measure an individual’s
competence and importantly, to a consistent standard across the
UK.
This database details the rolemaps,national occupational
standards and development modules for your role in the emergency
fire services which is accessed through the
Scottish fire service college. It is a tool
which can be utilised by all members of the suffolk fire and
rescue service to support Learning and
Development.
