ABSTRACT
SUMMARY This chapter provides an overview of the issue of flexibility for professional groups by concentrating on the property profession. It addresses three main issues: the growing pressures for flexibility in education for the professions; the dimensions of flexibility in such education; and the delivery of flexible property education.
It is argued that the growing pressure for flexibility in the workplace has implications for the very nature of the professions and that this, in turn, influences approaches to education for the professions. Within this context, this chapter explains the scope of a particular award to demonstrate an approach to accommodating flexibility within a structured framework which satisfies not only the students and educational establishments, but also the professional bodies and employers.
