Smaller working groups, including industry and the regulator were established to develop the courses. These sessions were chaired by SEMTA who translated the “technical terms and requirements” into the “language” / standard of the NOS and BIS.

Engagement with the Regulators The 2013 Vince Cable letter referred to the “engagement of the regulators” Hence the Awarding Organisation (AO) the City &Guilds and the UK CAA were drawn together to scope out a means of how the two parties could work together and come up with a set of deliverables . Fortunately the C&G’s had already got the C&G 2675 on the shelf !!

Part 66.B.400 General States : ”The competent authority may only grant credit on the basis of a credit report prepared in accordance with point 66.B.405”
