As part of the skill standards elements required for TSSB recognition, the TSSB adopted the common nomenclature endorsed by the National Skill Standards Board (NSSB).  The Skill Scales Companion Guide sets out the seventeen academic and employability knowledge and skills (AEKS) endorsed by the TSSB, and provides scales to determine the complexity levels of knowledge and skills required. 

The Skill Scales Companion Guide contains instructions on how to rate the complexity level of the AEKS identified in a TSSB skill standard.

Refer to "Step 6: Develop Worker-Oriented Information" in the Guidelines for the Development, Recognition and Usage of Skill Standards for more information, or contact the TSSB for technical assistance with this process.
