DESCRIPTION:‘Competence-based education and training’ has emerged as a
  dominant force in the development of vocational education and training\, 
 both nationally and internationally. But this presentation suggests that q
 ualifications central to the UK system and to other nations’ systems are
  based on defective notions of competence. It will look at leading researc
 h on the structure of competence and suggest that qualifications cannot be
  considered separately from learning programmes. It will focus particularl
 y on a crucial distinction – between ‘competence’ and ‘professiona
 l formation’.
