Mapping CPD Courses to National Occupational Standards (NOS)

NOS or ‘standards’ establish the benchmark of competence required in different
fitness industry roles/skills. Each NOS consists of a detailed breakdown of the
minimum skills and knowledge needed to be competent.

Developed in conjunction with technical experts and employers, NOS act to ensure
employability skills are reflected in qualifications and CPD.

Training providers are required to part-map CPD courses to demonstrate
occupational relevance (e.g. to the learner and employer). N.B. There is no
requirement to fully-map CPD to the NOS.
How to Complete this Mapping Toolkit
1.
Review the content of your course (including learning outcomes and assessment
criteria) in relation to the NOS contained within this mapping toolkit.
2.
Demonstrate how and where your CPD course covers the NOS by completing
the relevant sections within the ‘Mapping Evidence’ column throughout this
mapping toolkit.
3.
Mapping need only be completed for elements of the NOS where there is a clear
link to content and/or assessment covered by the CPD course. All areas that are
not covered by the CPD should be left blank or denoted as not applicable (N/A).
You will not be penalised for leaving mapping blank where it is irrelevant to your
course.
4.
The information you add to the ‘Mapping Evidence’ column can include any
aspect of course delivery/resources/assessment etc such as, PowerPoint
presentations, course manuals, handouts, assessments, lesson plans. It is,
however, important that you are able to submit anything you have mapped as
evidence for the endorsement process.
