Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a decade the UK has been engaged in a radical reform of its vocational education and training. This book contains the first comprehensive description of Functional Analysis, the method developed to define occupational standards and National Vocational Qualifications. It also discusses changes in contemporary work patterns, arguing that a new model of occupational competence is needed - the Job Competence Model. The text is in four parts covering strategy, models, and methodologies and how to apply them in practice. Both authors have both been closely associated with the methods and models described in the book and their personal insights add enormously to the value of the material.
