    Topic Overview

    The LASER Entry Level Extended Award for Learning, Employability and Progression (Entry 3) is a foundational qualification designed to help you develop essential skills for education, work, and independent living. It covers key areas such as communication, numeracy, digital skills, teamwork, and personal development. This award is ideal if you are building confidence and preparing for further study or employment, as it provides a structured pathway to progress to higher levels.

    Throughout the course, you will complete a range of units that focus on practical, real-world applications. For example, you might learn how to manage money, use basic IT tools, work effectively in a group, or set personal goals. The qualification is assessed through coursework and portfolio evidence, meaning you demonstrate your skills through tasks rather than exams. This makes it accessible and supportive for learners who thrive with hands-on activities.

    This qualification is part of the Foundations for Learning suite, which aims to equip you with the transferable skills needed for lifelong learning. By achieving this award, you show employers and educators that you can communicate clearly, solve problems, and work independently. It also builds your self-esteem and prepares you for the next step, whether that is a Level 1 qualification, an apprenticeship, or entry-level employment.

    Assessment Guidance

    Guidance for achieving higher grades

    • 💡Use specific terminology such as 'APR' and 'overdraft' to demonstrate understanding.
    • 💡When explaining the role of a financial organisation, give a clear example of a product or service they offer.
    • 💡Draw comparisons between different accounts, highlighting suitability for different purposes.

    • 💡Create a simple table or comparison chart in your notes listing financial organisations (bank, building society, credit union) with columns for ‘Services offered’ and ‘Typical customer’ to aid revision and structure written answers.
    • 💡When discussing savings, always mention the benefit of interest and the security offered by FSCS protection up to a stated limit, as this shows in-depth understanding.

    • 💡Create a comparison table to clearly present differences between financial organisations.
    • 💡Support answers with definitions from trusted sources like the Money Advice Service.
    • 💡Tip 1: Keep a log of your daily activities and achievements. This makes it easier to gather evidence for your portfolio. For example, if you helped organise a group task, write down what you did and how it went.
    • 💡Tip 2: When completing written tasks, use simple, clear language. You don't need complex sentences – focus on getting your point across accurately. Check spelling and grammar before submitting.
    • 💡Tip 3: Ask for feedback regularly. Your tutor can tell you if you're on the right track. Use their comments to improve your work before final submission.

    • Assuming all financial organisations (such as payday lenders) offer the same protection and services as regulated high street banks, ignoring the risks of high-cost credit.
