Discusses the strategic and political issues associated withAccreditation of Prior Learning (APL) in consideration of its potentialcontribution to the staff, curriculum and organizational developmentactivities of business schools. In recognizing that APL is not anautonomous process but an integral part of competence-based assessment,political pressures exist to shift vocational curricula to anoutcome-based assessment model, with these new forms of competence-basedqualifications leading, rather than following, education and training.This means that business schools will need to develop the specificity oftheir curricula offering to an extent previously considered unnecessaryand to respond proactively to potential benefits emerging fromacceptance of, and commitment to, the ongoing structural revision of thevocational, educational and training system.
