LASER’s ‘Preparing to Get a Job’ qualifications are offered at Entry Level 2, in Award, Certificate or Diploma size. They support learners to acquire a selected range of employability skills and work-related experiences, specifically identified by the Centre to be pertinent to the learner’s needs and interests. These qualifications are ‘nested’ qualifications (i.e. credits achieved for an Award can contribute towards achievement of a Certificate etc).
They are available to all learners. The recommended number of guided learning hours is between 60 and 370 hours, depending on the qualification chosen. Learners are assessed in terms of whether they have met the assessment criteria specified in the units of assessment.
