When registering with the SSSC managers of services must hold or gain any award in management that is certificated at or above SCQF Level 8* (minimum of 60 credits) showing evidence the award has been mapped against the National Occupational Standards (NOS) Leadership and Management for Care Services.
Training providers wishing to confirm that their management programmes lead to an award that fulfils this criteria need to provide evidence to the SSSC that the programme is recognised within their own institution as a management programme and that it fulfils the criteria of mapping outlined above. This evidence may be in the form of a grid showing where the institution's course maps to the required NOS. The evidence should be accompanied by a letter from the Academic Registrar, Dean or Head of Faculty confirming the course meets the criteria outlined above and the quality assurance standard set by their own institution, QAA or the appropriate awarding body.
