Over the next ten years, the Qualifications Strategy aims to enhance business performance within the building services engineering sector by:
- Providing high quality entry routes, progression routes, points of achievement and recognition for individuals within the sector;
- Recognising and anticipating the development needs of large, small and micro businesses in the sector;
- Recognising the needs of mainstream and specialist businesses in the sector
The Qualifications Strategy also aims to influence the content and structure of general, further and higher education, to attract the correct people and prepare them for entry into the sector and provide opportunity for progression therein.
The strategy recognises that qualifications need to be:
- Kept up to date in terms of technology, legislation and working practices
- Fit for purpose (E.g. reflecting the knowledge and competencies associated with relevant job role/responsibilities in the sector)
- Deliverable in terms of practicality, timescale for achievement, quality and cost;
- Able to support employment frameworks and individual business needs
- Reflect National Occupational Standards as appropriate
