Abstract (English):A salient feature of the ’training market’ through which public training programmes are often organised is the external inspection of training providers. The inspection of providers of Apprenticeship training in England has been shown to focus more on procedural than on substantive attributes. From a statistical and qualitative analysis of the content of inspection reports on training providers, we infer that this proceduralist bias distorts information on training quality by type of provider. Training sponsored by employers is made to appear less effective relative to that offered by specialist training organisations. The informational distortion is largely limited to private sector employers: other employer categories perform similarly to specialist training providers. (DIPF/Orig.)
