Welcome I am an author,
researcher and independent academic in the field of professional and
work-related education and development.
My consultancy work
has involved advising emerging professions on setting up systems for
self-regulation, as well as working
with more established ones to review and revise entry pathways, standards,
accreditation and regulatory processes.
I have also undertaken and supported research and development projects
concerned with systems and practices in professional, higher and work-based
education, including with Middlesex and other universities, on several European
partnership projects, and most recently with UVAC. I am now
pulling my consultancy work to a close, though I still have some writing
projects in hand. My published work spans five principal areas:
professionalisation and self-regulation, professional competence, work-based
higher education including degree apprenticeships and practitioner
doctorates, qualifications and qualifications frameworks, and more recently
digital learning. I have been
described as a leading expert on professional competence as well as one of
the the world’s most important
thought-leaders and most cited authors on (university-level) work-based
learning. Outside work my
main interests are the landscape, walking and photography. In 2005 I sailed around Britain (and wrote
a book about it), and I
currently run a walking web
site for the Exmoor region in the south-west of England. Contact me at info<at>devmts.co.uk. ©
