The passing of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, has
brought fundamental changes to the post-16 age sector. The
important elements in this era are flexibility of response, open
access, equality of opportunity, and valuing and accrediting
alternative ways of learning. These should all be linked within the
concept of providing life-long learning opportunities. Michael
Field focuses on these developments, taking as his theme the
accreditation of prior learning. The provision by a college of APL,
along with the support services needed to ensure its success, can
be used as the acid test to determine whether a college is truly
open and accessible to a variety of learners. This book offers
advice for managers and senior staff engaged in transforming their
colleges to meet students' needs. It should also be a useful guide
for tutors who plan and run courses to help academic and
administrative staff come to terms with the changes they are
facing.
