MOD ELC Deadline 31st March 2013

If you are in the forces or and are planning to leave the service (Service Leaver) in the next couple of years you are probably eligible for Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC)

The ELC scheme provides financial support in the form or a single up-front payment of £2000 per annum (1st April to 31st March- depending on length of service) in each of a maximum of three separate financial years. The Scheme is based on the principle that individuals will make a personal contribution towards the cost of their learning. The ELC contribution may be up to 80% of the gross course value. ELC funding is available only for courses that result in a nationally recognised qualification at level 3 or above.

If you have not yet used your ELC allowance for 2012/13 then you need to book and attend a course before the 31st March 2013 deadline, so as not to delay the start of your training and resettlement into civilian life. If you have already used your allowances for 2012/13 then now is a good time to take stock of what other courses will help you to secure employment and help with your career development for the 2013/14 year. You can book now and start courses from 1st April 2013. Take a look at our website www.mod.crsrisk.com or call Ros Stacey on 01283 509175 for more help and advice on our special reduced rate packages which will give you a good career start in civilian life.
