Abstract
The paper traces the process whereby the lecturers in a college of further education developed NVQ units in hairdressing into a workable form of curriculum. The process involved major changes in how the college section worked, with staff being required to jettison many traditional assumptions in order to meet the requirements of competence based learning. It is shown that competence based learning has radical implications both for the ways in which further education teachers design learning programmes and for the ways in which managers of colleges initiate changes in administrative practice.Keywords
