Reviews

The plain English guide to the assessment process with excellent examples. I am sure this book will be the standard guide for many years to come. --Alexander Graham, former Chair, Training and Development Lead Body (about previous edition) Now more than ever, there is a general recognition that education and training lie at the heart of our economic and social futures. This book will help support effective training through effective assessment and quality assurance, and so help the investment we all make stretch even further and achieve even more in these straitened times. --Rob Wye, Chief Executive, Learning and Skills Improvement Service (about previous edition)
