The NVQ/SVQ in Occupational Work Supervision (OWS) was created in response to demand from industry for a progression route for team leaders and supervisors where there was no suitable vocational occupational or supervisory qualification available at level 3 (SCQF L6). It was also considered that the Construction Site Supervision N/SVQ was too broad in its scope and demand, and unachievable by specialist supervisors.

Following consultation with industry, it was clear that while the role carried out by a supervisor was common across a number of occupational areas, to operate effectively an occupational supervisor needed to be competent in the occupational area being supervised. This was to ensure they would bring knowledge and understanding of the specific working practices, quality standards, and health and safety requirements to exercise their duties effectively. It was therefore agreed that, where overarching supervisory qualifications such as OWS were used, it was on the proviso that awarding organisations verify:

• the individual's experience and competence in their occupational area prior to being registered for the Occupational Work Supervision qualification.

• the context (occupational area) in which the individual had completed their OWS qualification.

• that the individual had the necessary occupational competence to supervise that occupational area.
