Abstract
CCETSW has encouraged DipSW programme providers to work within a CATS framework, and CAT is a required feature of CCETSW's new post-qualifying awards. CCETSW's approach to CATS appears to be based on three assumptions: that academic credit should be given for practice learning, that there is a direct equivalence between academic and professional attainment, and that ‘competence-based’ training is appropriate for social work. This approach has implications for the duration, accessibility, content and control of social work courses; it also raises various technical issues which will have to be addressed by training Consortia and Programme Providers.Keywords
