The course builds upon previous understandings of adult learning as it examines issues and debates related to learning in the VET sector. Some of the issues explored include: experience based learning, flexible delivery, lifelong learning, action learning and workplace learning. The course seeks to challenge students' notions of the contexts and provision of adult learning; adult development and learning; the learning process; learning transactions with adults as well as reflections on practice in teaching and learning. It develops knowledge and understanding essential for the design, establishment and management of education, training and assessment systems.
