What are the benefits of a professional qualification?

Professional qualifications raise knowledge, skills and performance and transmit an important message about you by demonstrating:

• Your level and range of expertise and knowledge
• Commitment to your career and interest in raising personal performance
• Enthusiasm and motivation for your area of work

In today’s super competitive employment arena, professional qualifications can help you to stand out from the competition and give you an edge when applying for that new job or internal promotion.

Another main outcome of a professional or vocational qualification is an increase in potential earnings or salary. Professional qualifications not only hone your current skills and practices but also help you to gain new skills, recognition from your peers and better contacts in your sector

FUNDING

Ministry of Defence Course Funding Routes

Career Transition Partnership

• Graduated Resettlement Time (GRT)

Allowing you to take a quantity of resettlement time that is commensurate with your length of service. For example, 35 days are available for those who have served 16 years.

Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC)

• ELC Awards are available in two “Tiers”: the “Lower Tier” level of up to £1000 per annum for those with four or more eligible years’ service; and the “Upper Tier” level of up to £2000 per annum for those with eight or more years’ eligible service. Providing they meet all criteria, personnel may make ELC claims in up to three separate financial years (which need not be consecutive and may be a combination of lower tier and upper tier funds) either while in service or for up to ten years after leaving.

• ELC funds may be directed at one learning purpose (such as successive years’ study towards a particular qualification) or different purposes in each of the three

Standard Learning Credits (SLC Scheme)

• The SLC Scheme allows personnel to obtain financial assistance for learning costs. You are able to claim 80% of your course fees up to a maximum of £175 per Financial Year.
   

• To qualify for SLC funding, the course of study must lead to a nationally recognised qualification, have substantial developmental value and directly benefit the Service. If you are receiving funding from other Services sources you will not be able to claim SLC, the only exception to this rule is the Open University Summer School sponsorship. Most types of learning provision, including that which is based on a Distance learning Package are eligible for funding under the Scheme.
