LASER’s ‘Personal Progress’ qualifications are at Entry 1 and are offered in three different sizes. Appropriate for learners with learning difficulties or disabilities, these qualifications provide a foundation for lifelong learning and focus on the transferable social and life skills needed for living in the community. Units on numeracy, literacy and ICT are available as options. These qualifications are ‘nested’ qualifications (i.e. credits achieved for an Award can contribute towards achievement of a Certificate etc).
They are available to learners of any age. The Total Qualification Time (TQT) is between 80 and 370 hours and the recommended number of guided learning hours is between 80 and 370 hours, depending on the qualification chosen. Learners are assessed against the assessment criteria specified in the units of assessment.
