Analysis of UK NOS CFAMLB5 for InLOC
Please look at the original CFAMLB5 PDF either from UKCES or from the Management Standards Centre to cross refer to this analysis.
The CFAMLB5 LOCstructure
This is an interesting case of a structure that is the explanation of a single competence definition. Careful consideration is needed in these cases to separate (and not unnecessarily duplicate) information relevant to the LOCstructure from information relevant to the LOCdefinitions.

This table has been shortened by leaving out the rows from CFAMLB5#P2 to #P10 etc.
- CFAML is imagined as the identifier of the suite, the "Management and Leadership National Occupational Standards 2008".
- The CFAMLB5#P items are the included performance criteria.
- The CFAMLB5#K items are the included items of knowledge and understanding.
There are also "Behaviours" and "Skills" listed, and there is a genuine choice about whether these should be identified separately as LOCdefinitions. If they were given identifiers, they would be included by CFAMLB5 alongside the performance criteria and items of knowledge and understanding.

Notes on the implied category schemes
To represent as much information as possible, there need to be some category schemes devised, and held at a point wherever they are common.
The distinction between performance criteria and items of knowledge and understanding is common across all UK NOS. This is also likely to be true about the "original" classification and the validity. These three schemes used above:
- NOS-2-way-scheme
- "performance" = "performance criterion"
- "knowledge" = "knowledge and understanding"
- NOS-orig-scheme
- original = a new NOS
- tailored = a NOS imported from another organisation
- NOS-valid-scheme
- current = a NOS currently in use
- legacy = a NOS which has been superseded
The particular way of grouping of knowledge and understanding items, within this NOS, under different headings may not be common across all NOS, and here it is imagined as created by CFA, the NOS developers.
- CFA-knowledge-scheme
- general = general knowledge and understanding
- sector = industry/sector specific knowledge and understanding
- context = context specific knowledge and understanding
