Overview

LASER’s Participating in Learning qualifications are offered at Entry Level 2, in Award, Certificate or Diploma sizes. They enable learners to study a collection of academic and personal and social development units pertinent to their needs and interest, selected by the centre from a very broad range of subject areas. These qualifications are ‘nested’ qualifications (i.e. credits achieved for an Award can contribute towards achievement of a Certificate etc.).
