Abstract
This chapter builds in large part on recent British experience, particularly on work which I undertook for the Employment Department with colleagues from the University of Sussex. (Steadman, Eraut, Cole & Marquand, 1994) The title of the present chapter may suggest that it is simply a discussion of the relationship of the British programme to define standards for a wide range of occupations, the relationship of the questions which it raises to the growing interest in business ethics and the questions which this raises for the appropriate nature of training — or learning — and assessment of that learning.
