At what levels should they operate? • Important to gain middle management buy-in • Combination of high level agreement, mid-level network-wide agreements, and operational level bilateral agreements. What is the synergy between the development of progression accords and credit frameworks? • Look to build in process of evaluating experiential learning into progression agreements. • Need to understand differentiation between credit transfer at HE level, and credit as a means of recognising learning for entry into HE. Proposals for future developments/finding solutions, etc Need for more case studies on: • Progression from workplace • Use of credit • Embedding progression accords into institutional processes
