3 Mapping for Florist (AGR/Q0703) with Link to Indian Qualification Pack: Links to UK Qualification: Not specified How to Read this Document This document has two sections - Section I and Section II. Section I: Compares the listing in the Indian QP Florist (AGR/Q0703) with. This is a job role for which there is not an exact equivalent in the /UK Qualification. This role is quite similar to the role of Florist in the UK with many operating as sole traders or very small businesses. Section II: Compares the competencies described in each of the with those of UK. The language of the compared competencies of the two countries differs. However, the competency pointers of the described competency can be mapped. Wherever the competency pointer maps it is reported as under the column Gap in. Wherever the competency pointers do not map, it is identified as a gap and the corresponding UK competency is noted under the column Gap in. Usage of Benchmarked Transnational Standards There will be two types of users of these benchmarked standards. One type will be of those individuals who are already trained and are certified on the corresponding Indian QP. This set of individuals will have to undergo a bridge course comprising of the identified gaps only. Thereafter, they will be assessed under the aegis of a UK Awarding body through the Indian SSC on the competency portions acquired via the bridge course. All qualifying individuals will be awarded a co-branded certificate comprising of logo of Skill India, Indian SSC and UK Awarding Body. Those individuals who wish to be certified afresh will have to undergo training on both the Indian QP and the gaps in the with regard to UK competencies. Thereafter, they will be assessed under the aegis of a UK Awarding body through the Indian SSC and they will obtain a co-branded certificate comprising of logo of Skill India, Indian SSC and UK Awarding Body. 3
