TRIDENT QUALIFICATION CHECKER

Due to the current Covid-19 (Coronavirus) situation, please be assured that the top priorities for LASER/Trident Awards are the needs and wellbeing of our learners, centres, and our own staff. We remain open, with contingency plans in operation, including all staff working from home in accordance with current government guidance, and we are able to fulfil all the obligations upon us as an awarding organisation, though please understand that whilst we will try our best, it may on occasion be difficult for us to meet some of our usual timescales and response times. If you have any queries please email them to trident@laser-awards.org.uk (or for finance queries only, please email finance@laser-awards.org.uk) as we are unable to take telephone calls at present.

We are working closely with all the relevant authorities, including DfE, Ofqual, and SIA, and abiding by published information to date by the relevant authorities, as well as adhering to government rules and guidance.

SIA has now agreed to an extension of the successful pilot to allow delivery and assessment of SO, CCTV, and CViT qualifications by remote interactive delivery and online invigilated exams (with online assessment of remote operation of CCTV equipment for the CCTV qualification). We have already emailed all centre contacts about this. If you would like further information and are interested in delivering in this way, please email us on quality@laser-awards.org.uk and we will be pleased to help.

We are now providing electronic qualification certificates with suitable security measures, instead of paper certificates, and qualification results are being uploaded to SIA as usual so that successful candidates can immediately apply for their licence.

Please also be aware that SIA has now delayed the implementation date for the new licence-linked qualifications to 1 April 2021 as a result of challenges faced during the current crisis.

Finally, the out of hours emergency phone number remains active but must only be used if you have a course running and you need to tell us about an emergency out of office hours. Please do not use it for anything else and it must not be used by candidates as we cannot provide any candidate support or information from this number.

Please rest assured we’re doing everything we can to support our learners and centres whilst keeping our staff safe.

Stay safe and well,

Trident Awards
