performance required when carrying out a task.
NOS are occupational standards which apply uniquely in the Indian
context.
QP comprises the set of OS, together with the educational, training and
other criteria required to perform a job role. A QP is assigned a unique
qualifications pack code.
Unit code is a unique identifier for an Occupational Standard, which is
denoted by an N
Unit title gives a clear overall statement about what the incumbent
should be able to do.
Description gives a short summary of the unit content. This would be
helpful to anyone searching on a database to verify that this is the
