What is ELCAS?
The Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) provides funding towards training courses in the form of Enhanced Learning Credits (ELCs) to individuals who are serving or have previously served in the military.
ELCAS will fund nationally recognised qualifications at Level 3 or above, in three separate financial years. The amount of funding available to you will depend on your years of service. If you’re unsure whether you are eligible, or want to find out how much funding you can receive, contact your local education centre or visit the Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) website.
