MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

London Examinations Board is an approved training provider partner of the Ministry of Defence’s Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS). Focused on providing business and management qualifications around the world and in the UK, this is a great opportunity for current and former members of our armed forces to obtain accredited qualifications and a pathway to an MBA delivered flexibly and online.

❓ What is ELCAS?

The MoD’s Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC) is an initiative to create lifelong learning for members of the Armed Forces and provides financial support in the form of payments of up to 80% of the costs of OBS qualifications. This means it can be used both during your time in the forces and also for up to 10 years after leaving to allow personnel to enhance their qualifications and aid transition from the service.

💰 ELCAS Funding

ELCAS is designed to encourage lifelong and continuous learning amongst Armed Forces personnel that are currently serving, or service leavers.

Applicants can claim up to 80% of course costs through ELCAS. Eligibility and your entitlement are dependent on length of service and leaving date.

Important Notes:

Only one ELC claim can be made per financial year
The entire claim must be with one provider
