Exciting news: you can now use ELCAS credits to pay for Firebrand Training courses!
Firebrand Training is an ELCAS Accredited Training Provider (ID 1444). Whether you're currently serving or have left the military less than 2 years ago, you can use these credits to fund accelerated training courses in IT.
What are ELCAS credits?
Developed by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS), the Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) Scheme provides financial support for members of the Armed Forces seeking to achieve nationally-recognised qualifications at Level 3 and above, or their international equivalent.
How do ELCAS credits work?
If you're currently serving in the UK Armed Forces or have been discharged less than 2 years ago, you can use your ELCAS credits to pay for IT training courses delivered by Firebrand Training.
ELCAS supports members of the Army, RAF, and Royal Navy. You must be a registered ELCAS member with sufficient accrued service time before being able to claim these credits.
Unused ELCAS credits expire 2 years after discharge from the service, so be proactive and make the most of them!
