Paperback. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition. 1993 edition. The acreditation of prior learning (APL) is a key component of the current drive towards competence-based education and training. Its use is increasing rapidly in the UK, particularly in the context of NVQs, and throughout the world. Through APL individuals' skills and knowledge can be formally recognized and accredited irrespective of how, when or why they were obtained. The process is being applied in academic, training and employment environments. Since APL builds on the strengths individuals already possess, they are often able to obtain qualifications in less time and at less expense. Organizations also gain from APL by making better use of existing training and education resources. They do not have to teach people what they already know and can do. This book offers comprehensive guidance to all those professionals in education, training or employment contexts who need or wish to implement an APL system. Practical advice, drawn from recent experience in the UK, USA and Australia, is offered on major key issues including: how to advise and support candidates through the APL process; how to assess candidates; how to evaluate evidence; how to design an APL training programme.
