How will occupational qualifications be developed?

Occupational qualifications will be developed by communities of expert practice. Such communities comprise practitioners active in a particular occupation. A few members of the community will become actively involved in the development of the qualification, while broader community will comment on or make further proposals on the work.

Committees of Expert Practitioners (CEPs) may also play a role in the assessment of the qualifications, either as registered assessors or, where they are organised as associations etc, act as moderating bodies to monitor and evaluate the credibility and consistency of the assessment process.
