Sports Turf NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS (NOS) Review

Recently, a small working group of representatives from Sports Turf, met with Sharon Sewell, from Lantra SSC Standards & Qualifications team to review the current Greenkeeping and Groundsmanship National Occupational Standards (NOS) and make any suggestions to improve the NOS for our sector.

The GTC through its representative organisations, Quality Assured Centres and Training Providers also invites you to take part in the mini consultation.

Please be aware that National Occupational Standards can be used for many purposes including developing qualifications for the sector and Job Profiles.
