As an assessor in Apprenticeships, this book is an essential read to all who are progressing in their TAQA or just refreshing their skills. Helps to understand individuals and barriers to learning.

This text has been quite useful for the teaching teams of the PTLLS and DTLLS. The authors provide current information for vocational teachers on policy and how that affects their practice given the changing landscape.

There is also a useful chapter on observing vocational teaching practice which our college observation team would benefit from.
Thank you.

As with other titles in the Learning Matters series, this text is structured into short, accessible chapters, covering all the key topics.

This particular text provides some good links to sources of additional reading, resources and software that are worth investigating if you are working in this field.

The text is mainly geared towards those working in more traditional education settings. It would be good to see some coverage of online / distance education.

useful for referencing learners in the workplace, some of the practices have been updated since this has been written so would only be used as supplemental reading
