Writing Stories, Telling Tales: National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Candidates' Experiences of NVQs.
Spielhofer, Thomas
Journal of Vocational Education & Training, v53 n4 p629-45 2001

Workers spent more time writing about their routine tasks to accredit existing skills than they did being trained in new skills. (Contains 49 references.) (SK)
