Leaving military life behind and adapting to a civilian world can be daunting, but with BIT Training you can be confident that career opportunities will open up, allowing you to take that next step forward.
ELCAS (Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service) is an MoD scheme that provides funding to Service Personnel and Service Leavers in the form of the Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC). The credits provided encourage lifelong learning amongst armed forces members, including serving personnel and Service Leavers from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force (RAF).
Service Personnel and Service Leavers can claim up to 80% of course costs through the scheme. In addition, recipients must make a personal contribution of at least 20% towards the total course cost. Eligibility and the amount you are entitled to claim depend on your service length and when you left the forces (if applicable) .
For further support on the ELC eligibility criteria and how to submit a claim, please revert to the ELCAS website.
