ELC (Enhanced Learning Credits) is a scheme aimed at providing members of the armed forces of the UK with lifelong learning opportunities. Financial support is provided in the form of a single, up-front payment towards the courses that you wish to study. The ELC scheme is administered and managed by ELCAS (Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Services) as a part of the MOD (Ministry of Defence). Administrative support and regulating of training providers is also provided by ELCAS.
Making the transition from the Armed Forces back to civilian life can be challenging and, at times, daunting. The ELCAS scheme endeavours to make that transition as smooth and easy as possible by helping those that have served, or are still serving in the military, gain recognised certifications, giving them a far greater chance at gaining employment once they have finished their service.

You can use the credits that you gain through ELC both whilst you are serving in the armed forces and for up to ten years after finishing your service.
- After completing a total of four years of service you will be entitled to lower tier ELC funding of £1,000.
- After completing a total of eight years of service you will be entitled to higher tier ELC funding of £2,000
- You will be allowed to make up to three claims against the funding scheme, but you will only be entitled to claim once every calendar year.
You will be allowed to make up to three claims against the funding scheme, but you will only be entitled to claim once every calendar year.
