Rezensionen

I like the fact that the book was accessibly organized into sections that covered basic questions about institutional structures, pedagogy & policy debates and FE pathways. The use of case studies and bullet points, FAQs made the book accessible for undergrads and postgrads new to the field. - Paul Warmington, University of Birmingham

I particularly like the list of themes at the beginning of the book, assisting the reader in deciding which section they need to look at. Throughout the book there are lots of examples which will assist learners understanding. - Joanne Byrne, SL College

It is clearly written, accessible and helpfully inclusive. The text may also be useful in providing students with some initial orientation in the sector. - Ian Summerscales, Oxford Brookes University
