In this section:
The NOLRS Sub-committee have introduced technical working groups to support the development of NOLRS. The function of the technical working groups is to:
- Review the initial registration requirements annually (particularly the log book requirements).
- Review NOLRS re-registration tables annually.
- Review requirements for ‘experienced’ registration.
- Develop proposals for required Skill Sets not currently in the SIS10 training package.
The technical working groups are made up of people from the sector with significant experience in one or more of the NOLRS registration activities. The groups have been finalised and work has already started on the reviews.
