What is an Occupational Standard? The Red Seal model has historically been based on the development of National Occupational Analyses (NOA) that support the development of multiple-choice examinations. A new Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) was introduced in 2015 and is taking the place of the NOANational Occupational Analyses. The new Red Seal Occupational Standards support greater consistency in learning resources (both in-class and on-the-job training); provide tools and supports for assessment; and allow for increased industry involvement in standards development. The new model places increased emphasis on apprenticeship training and skills assessment with industry-defined learning objectives, outcomes and performance criteria. Please note that it takes time for Red Seal Occupational Standards to be developed. NOANational Occupational Analyses will continue to be used as the occupational standard for trades that do not yet have a RSOSRed Seal Occupational Standarddeveloped.
