NOSS (National Occupational Skills Standard)
Definition
NOSS is the National Occupational Skills Standard, a Malaysian national document describing the competencies a skilled worker needs for a specific occupation and level.
What is inside a NOSS document?
A NOSS document breaks an occupation into competency units, each with the work activities, knowledge and performance criteria expected at that level. You can find more about the national NOSS standards on the official site.
How does Certifyd use NOSS?
Certifyd maps each certification to selected NOSS competency units, so the course content follows a national description of the job. For example, the Certified Payroll Administrator is a Certifyd certification aligned to NOSS competency units.
It is not a statutory skills certificate and is not issued by the body that publishes NOSS.
