Military Approved
Courses (ELCAS)

Leadership, discipline, professionalism and fitness are traits that almost all military personnel possess which, is why a career in the Diving Industry seems like the most logical and natural next step after a life in the Armed Forces.

ELCAS Credits

Picture
The MOD’s Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC) promotes lifelong learning amongst members of the Armed Forces. The scheme provides financial support in the form of a single up-front payment in each of a maximum of three separate financial years.

​You are reminded that ELC funding is only available for pursuit of higher level learning i.e. for courses that result in a nationally recognised qualification at Level three or above on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) (England, Northern Ireland and Wales), a Level six or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or, if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent qualification with an approved learning provider.
Dive Rutland is an approved provider (11164) of the Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme and as such has demonstrated that it meets all of the MOD’s procurement requirements for training and education.
