Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Services

The MoD's Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC) is an initiative to promote lifelong learning amongst members of the Armed Forces.The ELC scheme provides financial support in the form of a single up-frontpayment in each of a maximum of three separate financial years. You are reminded that ELC funding is onlyavailable for pursuit of higher level learning i.e. for coursesthat result in anationally recognised qualification at Level 3 or above on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) (England and Wales), a Level six or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or, if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent qualification.
As such you must ensure that you are able to demonstrate the level of the course to your Education staff when asking them to authorise your claim.
There are several stages to the ELC process. Full information is set out in Defence Information Notice 2006DIN06-041 - The EnhancedLearning Credit Scheme: The Sponsorship of Service Personnel for Personal Development. Have a look at the claim procedure flow chart Annex 1 to the DIN.

• First you must register to become a Scheme Member and accrue a sufficient amount of service before you can submit a claim
• Then you must select a relevant course ensuring that it meets the higher level learning criteria (level 3 or above) and an Approved ELC Provider
• Thirdly, you must complete and submit an ELC claim, approved by an authorised member of the single Service education staff
• Finally you must send your completed Course Evaluation Form to ELCAS. Please note that further claims cannot be processed until evaluation forms are received for all previous courses (even those still underway).

The Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) provide the administrative support for the ELC Scheme. Education Staff are responsible for approval of both ELC Application and Claims. All completed forms should therefore be submitted to Education Staff who will send the forms to:

ELCAS
