Recenzje

`... useful book on an important topic. It is crisply written with illustrative case scenarios throughout, which effectively demonstrate APEL in action in a variety of settings and situations. It will be of value to any FE/HE lecturer wondering how APEL might be emloyed in their course(s) and to managers considering the broader issues of APEL implementation college-wide.' - Education Training Vol 35 No 5 93

APEL is important, and these are two good books. Both should be read by those wanting to provide comprehensive student services in colleges and with genuine interest in the needs of learners.' - Times Educational Supplement (on this and APL: Developing More Flexible Colleges.

`Readers will find this a concise, authoritative introductory book on a subject which will become of increasing importance ... it has a wide relevance both for assessors and for potential candidates, but will particularly help those involved in training in the further education sector' - Capability
