Useful for Lecturers teaching on apprenticeship provision would be nice to see some recognition towards higher qualifications such as levels 6 and 7

This book provides a good overview of some of the issues that a teacher/assessor of vocational learners needs to consider. It is a little generic in places, but there are plenty of examples from different settings that will enable readers to draw parallels and gain context for their learning. I recommend this book for the L5 Teaching and Learning Apprenticeship.

Interesting but not relevant to HPE. Some concepts adaptable.

This book is an essential read as it covers all aspects for Teacher Training Qualifications. My students have used this towards their CET, DET and TAQA awards and has been an interesting read for all.

practical and easy to follow

This is a very well thought out text which provides detailed information and guidance on a range of issues which are relevant to those delivering vocational training in a range of contexts. It is useful for both trainees on courses who are perhaps new to delivering on vocational programmes as well as teacher trainers wishing to expand their own understanding of this important area.

Excellent text for educators working in vocational training.

As we already use a lot of A.Gravells books, a lot of information is repeated.
If you don't already have any of her books, then I would recommend.
