National Occupational Standards
 
The Occupational Standards are developed through a process called an occupational analysis.  CAMC directs the performance of an occupational analysis with the assistance of subject-matter experts who work together to document the tasks and sub-tasks executed by workers in the performance of their duties.  The analysis also itemizes the knowledge requirements to perform each task and sub-task, including equipment and tools utilized to accomplish them.   

An Occupational Standard (OS) identifies the tasks performed in a particular occupation and describes the knowledge and skills required to perform these tasks competently.  The OS also forms the basis for the accompanying logbook and the development of a curriculum, which allow the certification of technicians and the accreditation of training programs.  It is therefore extremely important that the OS be accurate. 

To date, CAMC has developed national occupational standards for the following 26 aviation and aerospace occupations:
