The development of Trades National Competency Standards (NCS) and Samoa

Qualifications was carried out under the auspices of the Samoa-Australia

Partnership for Development, TVET Strengthening Programme. Their

development followed the SQA process for Development of National

Competency Standards, in terms of Needs Analysis (Phase 1) followed by

Development of the NCS (Phase 2) and Industry Validation (Phase 3). This

activity was accomplished with the aid of an international consultant. As per

normal process, SQA set up a Trades Sector Advisory Group (TSAG) made up of

representatives from the Trades sector to provide advice and technical input into

the development of the Trades NCS and Samoa Qualifications (NQs). Seven

local consultants were also contracted to write the NCS for the seven trades’

occupations under the supervision of the international consultant. The National

of 129


Competency Standards have been packaged into NQs (to align with Samoa

Qualifications Framework Policies). Feedback and comments obtained during

the Validation Phase informed the final draft NCS and NQs.

This qualification and the National Competency Standards contained within have

received the endorsement of the Trades Sector Advisory Group.
