Welcome to the brighthr Tool created by the Council for Administration. The tool has been developed in order to create effective HR documentation for administration staff using the National Occupational Standards (NOS) which are the quality benchmark for NVQs and SVQs in Business & Administration in the UK.

In order to use this free tool, you will need to register your details. This is also so that we can contact you with regard to the review and evaluation of the NOS. Register Now!
