The Common Competency Framework and fit-for-purpose competency management tool, the NS4P, go a long way to supporting suppliers to respond to the challenges of the UK's nuclear programme. The level of industry support, and subsequent adoption of the framework and NS4P, signifies that we have put in place two vital building blocks to creating confidence through competency.
