Training the trainers

Abstract

State encouraged monopolies are not among the easiest of institutions to evaluate. They provide on the one hand an enormous scope for the informed innovator, and on the other an equal scope (until detected) for the deft charlatan. When Bristol College of Science and Technology's School of Management ended its first intensive eight week course at Rockwell for training officers in October 1964, H. M. I. Stubbings remarked guardedly that he was grateful for any development. Within six months Rockwell's innovation had been rewarded with the Department of Education and Science imprimatur to develop the top end courses in the training hierarchy, and courses for training officers in skills analysis and the like had been pushed down to the level of the colleges of technology.
