1. Identifying individual learning needs

   Hi Scott,

   I have already been involved in a similar project with ‘Scottish National Heritage’.
   The project involved identifying the most relevant information, resources and advice that would identify an individuals competence.

   If you would like the details of this project, please drop me a line.
