Enhanced Learning Credit (ELC) Scheme

What is ELC?

If you are a current or former member of military personnel, you may be eligible for financial support to cover part of the cost of your studies.

The Enhanced Learning Credit Scheme can fund up to 80% of the cost of your tuition, providing you are enrolled in an approved qualification at Level 3 or above.

As an accredited learning provider, many of our courses are eligible for funding under the ELC scheme.
