NQA endorses 57 occupational standards applicable to construction and agriculture sectors
ABU DHABI, 25th November, 2014 (WAM) -- The Quality and Conformity Council, QCC, has announced that the National Qualifications Authority, NQA, has endorsed 57 occupational standards applicable to the construction and agriculture sectors. The Authority’s endorsement will enable QCC to develop personnel conformity schemes to ensure that services offered by the sector’s unskilled labour force conform to the standards set by the Council. The scheme covers construction, electro-mechanical works, installation and maintenance of air conditioning units and elevators, as well as moulding, paving and flooring, painting, roofing and pest control application in farms. To ensure the implementation of the standards, QCC will collaborate with recognised assessment centres to develop training and examination materials to assess and validate the competency of individuals. Upon the completion of these programmes, applicants will receive conformity certificates from QCC, which will serve as a proof of passing a rigorous assessment process and confirm the applicants’ ability to perform the assigned tasks according to professional and quality standards.
