Hi Ian,

I think we basically agree. 

You are right to pick me up for defaming vocational qualifications, which I
have little direct experience of - though there is evidence, I think, that
the early NVQs were too strongly based on simple task-based performance.

As for the reliability of an observed performance, someone might
successfully saw a straight line using familiar tools, with a familiar type
of wood, at the end of a three day course of practice. Put him in an
unfamiliar situation a week later and the result is pretty wonky.

Crispin.
