I do value your input; and this thread seems me at the very least one of the most constructive we have ever had on this list. I'd like to say that I'm not currently thinking of the VLE project as a vehicle for accreditation. The WMUK plan to accredit trainers is an input to the VLE idea; I think perhaps regarding accreditation as a significant output of the project ought to wait just a little while. Presumably the trouble with accreditation systems is that they are only as good as their weakest link.
