IMI NOS Scotland

The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is starting a review of the following suites of National Occupational Standards (NOS) including:

• Accident Repair – Body
• Body Building
• Parts Operations
• Roadside Assistance and
• Vehicle Recovery

The review will be completed by 31/03/2023. To ensure the outcome of the review is in line with industry needs, across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, you are invited to take part in the review.  The NOS continue to be a valuable resource to inform vocational training and qualifications, and apprenticeships.

 The following sets out how you can get involved in the project:

• Project Steering Group

This group will oversee the progress of the project through to its conclusion ensuring that the revised NOS are in line with industry working practices and are fit for purpose.

The objective of the first steering group is to consider:

• Do the current NOS cover all of the activities carried out within the industry?
• Do they reflect current working practices?
• What changes are needed?

Scotland meetings:

• Workshops and / or interviews (face to face, telephone or Skype) on the NOS relevant to you

• On-line consultations and webinars to provide updates on the main developments in the review

How to get involved?

If you would like to take part in any stage of the standards review, please register your interest here or contact Caroline Harris carolineh@theimi.org.uk

We urge you to attend the Scotland event and take the opportunity to influence the development of NOS.

Many thanks for getting involved.
