WORDS OF APPRECIATION
• Special thanks to JPK for using some of their materials for
this presentation.
• Also my colleagues Dr. Nassir, Dr.Azali, Dr Razak and
Noorleena, NorSalwani for the success of today’s event.
INTRODUCTION
• NOSS was first introduced in 1991 by NVTC (LLPPKK)
• 71 National Trade Standards (NTS) had been developed
from 1971 until 1991. The old format focused mostly on the
knowledge-based approach adopted from Europe for
flexible skill certification system.
• First NDT NOSS was RT (1986), UT 1990, MT 1991, PT
1992 and ET 1993.
• NDT’s NOSS main reference was ISO 9712
• However , new ISO 9712 : 1999 was established forcing
changes in NOSS RT and UT both in 2000.
……INTRODUCTION
• NOSS NDT (RT &UT) differs from other trades since it is
an examination centric approach
• In Malaysia 3 Training agencies accredited to JPK:
ANM (all NDT methods except UT)
SIRIM BERHAD (UT only)
TATI (RT)
• Another centre ITC was approved in 2011 (all methods
except RT.
• > 3,000 certified NDT personnel in all methods by JPK
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
• New developments:
NASDA Act 2006 (Act 652) MLVK changed to JPK
ISO 9712 have been revised twice (2005 and 2012)
JPK accredited to ISO 17204 by DSM in 2012
MSNT appointed as Industrial Lead Body (ILB) by JPK
………NEW DEVELOPMENT
• Training agencies to improve theirs Quality manual,
curriculums, syllabus, expertise and facilities.
• NDT NOSS to be modified according to new NOSS format
standard:
ILB awarded contract to MSNT for OA and RT & UT NOSS
Project 2012 and continued for MT, PT and ET NOSS in
2013
• Number of higher levels of certified NDT personnel needs
to be increased for all methods
• Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA) with other
international scheme
WHAT IS NOSS?
National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS)
is defined as a specification of the competencies
expected of a skilled worker who is gainfully
employed in Malaysia for an occupational area,
level and the pathway to achieve the
competencies.
OLD NOSS FORMAT
• Modular system
• Suitable for both private and public training sector
• Followed trends in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany for
Competency based Training and Education (CBTE).
• Concentrates on end product i.e. “ What people can do as a
result of training? “
• In 2006 occupational standard established under part IV of
Nasda Act 2006 (Act 652).
NEW NOSS FORMAT
• Initiated in 2011 by NOSS Expert Working Group (EWG)
• Change from DACUM (develop a curriculum) to DESCUM
(develop the NOSS and curriculum):
- Starts with an occupational area review on the industry to
gain insight on the Malaysian job market scenario.
- Review of current Occupational Analysis (OA) structure of the
industrial sector/sub sector, current trend of the industry, skilled
workers supply and demand in the local sector and the
industrial competitiveness at international level.
NOSS CONTENT
Standard Practice Standard Content
The SP provides an
occupational overview
for a particular
profession.
The SC specifies the competencies of the
occupation
• Competency Profile Chart (CPC)
• Competency Profile (CP).
…..STANDARD CONTENT
CPC
CPC consist of core and elective competency units. A Competency Unit (CU) is an
independent meaningful unit of work, which contains several activities to complete
a work cycle.
Core Competency Unit
Classified as generic and essential competencies required for a particular
occupation.
Elective Competency Unit
Classified as related additional competencies and relevant to the particular
occupation.
…….STANDARD CONTENT
Competency Profile Consists of the competency unit (CU) descriptor, work activities and performance
criteria
CU Descriptor
Describes the synopsis of the competency unit on the outcomes/ objectives; process; condition/
range; standards; and/or regulation; and/or manual; pre-requisite; etc in order to carry out the
competency successfully.
Work Activities
Represents a complete cycle of work activities to produce an outcome with its starting point
and ending point which result in a product; service; or decision.
Performance Indicators
Tells someone how well he/she must perform the work activities with regard to process criteria
and product criteria that meet the standard quality requirement.
NOSS (NEW FORMAT)
Toward the flexible, dynamic & responsive
of standard development in meeting the
national human resource development
requirements
Structure/ Format:
o Flexible
• Easily packaged
• Support for multi-skilling
• Support for NDTS program
• Support customized program
• Incorporate with Core & Elective competencies
o Dynamic
• Easily adapt to new changes and requirement
• Incorporate with New & Emerging technology
o Responsive
• Can be package to industrial specific requirement
• Fast to change due to shorter time required for reviewing & make changes.
(only related task will be reviewed or adding-on to the Standard)
• Encourage creativity & innovative in designing training packages to ensure
employability.
