Welcome I am an author and
independent academic in the field of professional and work-related education
and development. My work has
included helping professions to set up or revise systems for qualifying and
self-regulation; developing and researching systems and practices in
professional and work-based education; and working on national and European
projects in the area of qualification frameworks and accreditation. I am now retired from consultancy and
project work, though I am still writing about professions and work-based
learning. 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. Please note that I
don’t respond to requests to write or review articles for journals. I live just outside
Taunton with my partner Philippa, and outside my academic 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. ©
