Abstract
The impact of a market philosophy upon education in England is seen as the major context in which the developing concerns for efficiency, effectiveness and economy are worked through in (particularly) further vocational education. In order to provide a basis for further development activities for management and the staff, an audit of the Provision for Competency-based Vocational Education (CBVE) for National Vocational Qualifications associated with the National Council for Vocational Qualifications model was carried out within a Department of Engineering at a College. The audit revealed important areas for further development as well as indicating areas that are appropriate for the task of providing CBVE. The audit format used, initially developed by the Further Education Unit, was seen as effective and efficient.
