Up to 80% funding for serving and ex-military personnel through Enhanced Learning Credits. ELCAS Provider Number: 12999
The Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELCAS) is a UK Ministry of Defence initiative that provides financial support to members of the British Armed Forces for approved educational courses. It is designed to help service personnel gain qualifications that support their transition to civilian careers.
Through ELCAS, eligible personnel can receive up to 80% of tuition fees for approved courses at registered learning providers. You can make up to 3 claims in total, with a maximum of 1 claim per financial year (April to March).

Call us on 0115 666 2366 or email support@totalskills.co.uk. We will confirm course availability, dates, and the full cost so you can submit your claim.
Submit your claim via the ELCAS Members Area at least 15 working days before the course start date (25 working days for service leavers to allow MOD processing). Reference our provider number 12999.
Once approved, you will receive a Claim Authorisation Note (CAN). Present this to us before the course begins. You pay your 20% personal contribution, and the MOD pays the remaining 80% directly to us.
