Overview

The keystones for provision in the new era of Further Education will be flexibility of response, open access, equality of opportunity, and valuing and accrediting alternative ways of learning - all linked together within the concepts of providing life-long learning opportunities. The provision of APL, along with the support services needed to ensure its success, can be used as the 'acid test' of whether a college is truly open and accessible to a variety of learners. Written by an experienced manager, this book offers invaluable advice for other managers and senior staff engaged in transforming their colleges to meet students' needs.

Synopsis

The passing of the Further and Higher Education Act, 1992 has initiated rapid change to the post-16 sector. Focussing on the accreditation of prior learning, this book offers valuable advice on how to make colleges truly open and accessible.
