Dr
Stan Lester Since 1993 I have worked
as a consultant, researcher and systems developer in professional and
work-related education and development.
I am now semi-retired, but take on a few small projects a year. Much of my 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 also work on research and
development projects concerned with systems and practices in professional,
higher and work-based education. My published work
spans four principal areas: professionalisation and self-regulation,
professional competence, work-based higher education including degree
apprenticeships and practitioner doctorates, 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. I have a master’s
degree in education from the University of the West of England and a
doctorate in professional accreditation from Middlesex University (based on
work to develop the heritage conservation
profession). Since 1992 I have been a
qualified member of the Institute of Training and Development and its
successor the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. 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 Stan at info<at>devmts.co.uk. ©
