Abstract - Accredited Work-based Learning - the OCN Way !

Warwickshire Library and Information Services is the first Library Service in the country to award its own Open College Network (OCN) accreditation for its in-house training and development programme.  This session will explore how others can learn from Warwickshire's experience, and make use of training materials that were developed as part of this innovative pilot project.
