Did you know that LASER also offer an Ofqual Regulated Qualification? The LASER Level 3 Award in Supporting Young People Leaving Care in Post-16 Education, is available to approved centres.
This qualification will enhance and recognise the skills and knowledge of staff working to support young people leaving care and continuing their education in school sixth-forms, further or higher education.
Specifically, the qualification will promote and assess:
- Communication skills within a helping role
