Enhanced Learning Credits – Army Personnel
What are they and are they applicable to me?
In 2008 the UK Government realised that there should be more assistance for servicemen and women after they finish serving, so the Enhanced Learning Credits army scheme was brought in to help army leavers acquire training and credentials. Also called ELC, the Enhanced Learning Credits army scheme supports military personnel to gain civilian employment by providing monetary support for education and training courses. Military leavers can access this scheme for a maximum of three separate fiscal years so there’s lots of time to gain a number of new skills.
The ELC army scheme enables military leavers to learn trade skills regardless of their level of experience in this area. Servicemen and women can carry out resettlement courses no matter what age or rank they are.
How does the Enhanced Learning Credits army funding work?
It is only possible to use the ELC army funding to contribute to higher level training courses. It is critical for these resettlement courses to enable you to achieve nationally recognised qualifications. On the National Qualifications Framework these must be level three or higher in England and Wales and level six or higher in Scotland.
With ELC funding serving army personnel can possibly claim as much as £6000 to cover course costs. To make use of the ELC grant you must carry out your training with a course provider that is recommended by ELCAS (Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service).
It is possible to use ELC alongside other funding including Standard Learning Credits and Individual Resettlement Training Costs (IRTC). This funding can be combined to create a larger package with a few different training courses. There’s a tax-free entitlement of £534 with the Individual Resettlement Training Costs grant that can be used to pay for a course. As well as this grant there’s additional funding that may be available, to cover accommodation (as much as £80 a day) and meals (up to £25 a day).
Military servicemen and women have the option to have time off in order to complete training courses using ELC. The advantage of this is that you have the opportunity to qualify before your leaving date giving you the freedom to possibly start a new career straight away. How long you have been serving will be an influencing factor in the amount of time off and additional money you can receive.
How can a trades training resettlement course benefit you?
There are two key factors why the majority of resettling military personnel choose to complete trades training courses. These are either to gain an understanding of property improvement and maintenance or to obtain professional trade skill qualifications.
If you’re looking to performing property improvement jobs then a property development resettlement course could be an appropriate choice for you. You will have the opportunity to learn plastering, plumbing, painting and decorating, carpentry and tiling, as well as other skills. This course will help you learn everything required to develop a house as well as execute improvements.
With a professional trades training course you’re able to gain the qualifications that will allow you to start a new career in a trade, for example plumbing, carpentry or tiling. In these trade industries there are a number of gaps in the market for newly qualified tradespeople, a lot of these continue on to be self employed.
