This is a critical reflection upon the Quality and Qualifications Ireland (2018) guidelines on blended learning from the perspective of a Further Education and Training practitioner. The purpose of the guidelines is set out and it is suggested that there is much to be welcomed here. The contested meaning of the term blended learning is explored and it is noted that the definition proffered by QQI is a false one. It is argued that the neoliberal language of these guidelines is contributing to performativity. Finally, there is comment upon how the guidelines address equality of opportunity.
