Abstract
Describes the nature of accrediting prior learning (APL). Examines its potential from the perspectives of professional bodies, such as the IPM and the Government. As a prelude to examining a case study evaluation of a “Portfolio Exercise” used to detect non‐standard entrants to a suite of programmes in higher education discusses some problems of putting its principles into practice.
