How You Gain National Skills
1. NOS Integrated
The UK National Occupational Standards (NOS) are fully embedded into each stage of the curriculum to ensure alignment between learning and professional competencies.
2. Transforming KSB into Competence
SIMI maps Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSB) from the NOS to measurable professional competencies, ensuring that every learning outcome reflects real workplace expectations.
3. Converting Competence into Learning Outcomes (L.O.)
Each competency is translated into specific, assessable Learning Outcomes, forming the academic foundation for student performance and evaluation.
4. Internal Quality Assurance (IQA)
SIMI conducts IQA (Internal Quality Assurance) for every module and assessment to maintain academic integrity, consistency, and compliance with UK qualification standards.
5. External Quality Assurance (EQA)
The Ofqual (UK.Gov) Awarding Body performs EQA (External Quality Assurance) on every student’s assessed work to verify authenticity, fairness, and national compliance.
6. National Qualification Awarding
Upon successful EQA validation, the learner’s results are officially recognised, and the Ofqual-regulated Awarding Body issues a nationally accredited qualification.
7. Swiss Institutional Awarding
Finally, SIMI Swiss recognises the learner’s achievements and confers the official Swiss Private Degree, confirming dual recognition: Swiss Private Excellence + UK National Qualification.
