The SVQ Units for assessors and verifiers mirror the National Occupational Standards (NOS).  These standards have been developed by LLUK (Lifelong Learning UK) to meet the occupational requirements of workplace assessors and internal verifiers across the UK. The SVQ Units mirror these requirements.

These standards for assessors and internal verifiers are the benchmark qualifications for assessors and internal verifiers across all occupational areas and ensure consistency in the application of quality assurance in the workplace.

These qualifications are for all workplace assessors and internal verifiers of regulated qualifications such as SVQs in all occupational sectors.
