Abstract
This study examines the suitability of competency-based modular education and training as preparation for skilled vocational work. In particular, it explores the nature of the curriculum and pedagogy that leads to the transmission and acquisition of risk work; defined as work that involves inherent unpredictability which depends on the skilled performance of the worker-practitioner. A single qualitative case study of a national train driving diploma is examined.
