What are LAF Training Vouchers?

LAF Training Vouchers are pre-paid passports to training. They cost £95 each for LAF Member Organisations and £117 each for Non-Member Organisations. They are cheaper than the normal rate for a course because they are bought in advance and they make the course administration much quicker and easier for LAF. Each voucher is valid for a single day’s training for one person.

LAF Training Vouchers are a way of:

• Buying training in advance
• Buying training at today’s prices and spending it at tomorrow’s
• Helping to manage the training budget
• Ensuring you don’t lose out at the year end
• Getting a discount on your training

How it works:

• Just send us an order for the number of Training Vouchers you want (minimum order five). We will invoice you and then send you the vouchers.
• The next time you want to book a Training Course, send in the booking form and voucher. You will then have a paid place on the course. (Subject to availability)
• Use the Vouchers as payment or part payment for in-house courses. (Contact us for further information.)
• These vouchers are valid for eighteen months after the purchase date.

Why use LAF for Training

We want all our customers to have the clearest possible idea of what we are offering. So here are our two key messages:

1. When you choose LAF training courses you are guaranteed a personal and practical approach.
2. LAF is reassuringly competitive and reassuringly generous.

What does this mean in practice?

• "Personal" means that courses delivered to one organisation in-house or to a group of you in our training room are designed for you. All courses are designed to help you understand the issues, agenda and policies within your local area as well as the wider picture. We are a small dedicated team that provides excellent standards of service, care and attention for people using our services.
• "Practical" means that we provide people who come on our courses with a number of techniques/ actions to use in their everyday work to improve what they do. We provide practitioner delivered training.
• "Reassuringly competitive" means just what it says. Our courses are not free or "cheap" but they are competitively priced and this is a sign of their quality. We offer membership which results in lower costs for accessing training.
• "Reassuringly generous" means that LAF has a commitment to ensuring as much of the customers’ money as possible is dedicated to frontline service delivery - by paying a generous rate to trainers LAF expects and secures an excellent standard of preparation and delivery.
