ALQ is a method for accrediting action learning projects that has been adapted in business, government and service sectors.

The first programme using this method provided the basis for the first ALQ based masters of management degree provided for a bank in the UK. The approach has since ben adapted for the outsourcing sector, local and central government public services and the care sector. (Link to articles on Training Journal, Emerald etc)

Richard developed the Action Learning Facilitator Accreditation (ALFA) programme based on research into the founding principles of action learning of Professor Reg Revans.
