Review
Helps to unpick and demystify the validations process for students who are thinking about validation but are rather over-awed by the process. --Lecturer, Alton College.

Excellent book which will be an asset to the EYPS candidates on the 1 year full and long courses. Candidates on the validation route only will also be recommended to buy this book. --Lecturer, Anglia Rusking University

The Validation Process for EYPS
Having spend a lot of money on this book, I am very disappointed. The Validation Process for EYPS needs updating. Since it was written the Tasks have changed. In particular the description of Task 4 is now wrong and is extremely unhelpful. I would not recommend this book until it has been revised.
