The National Programme provides the first instance in the United Kingdom of an educational innovation having an external financial evaluation from the outset; the operation and methodology of the evaluation is therefore outlined. A three‐tier approach to costing, at the national, institutional and departmental levels is described. Difficulties in identifying ‘costs’ are summarized together with some of the solutions adopted. The final section of the article provides some of the conclusions from the evaluation relating to CAL.
