Course funding

Standard Learning Credits for Service Personnel

The Standard Learning Credits scheme allows service personnel to claim funds for learning. These credits are specifically designed for multiple, small-scale learning activities. SLC's can be combined with IRTC (Individual Resettlement Training costs) for those leaving the Armed Force; however they cannot be used with ELC's (Enhanced Learning Credits.)

The Prince's Trust

The Prince's Trust is a charity in the United Kingdom founded in 1976 by King Charles III to help vulnerable young people get their lives on track. We work alongside the Princes trust to deliver our into employment courses. If you are a young person and require funding to help you with your learning journey then the Prince's trust may be able to help.

Why use your SLC'S?

How the Prince's Trust support people

Our courses lead to a nationally recognised qualification required to receive SLC funding. SLC’s cannot be transferred to another year or used retrospectively. So basically, if you don’t use it, you lose it. SLC’s allow you to complete lifelong training at a discounted price. Get started today. It’s a no-brainer.

The Prince’s Trust believes that every young person should be have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background or the challenges they are facing. They help those from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.

How much can you claim?

SLC’s allow you to claim 80% of the course fee up to a maximum of £175 per financial year. The annual allowance cannot be carried forward or used for previous years. You can claim your refund once proof that you have completed the learning as been received.

To claim funds, you must already be enrolled with the SLC scheme before applying for the learning activity- Call your education centre for details; you usually are automatically enrolled. You must complete an application form (MOD Form 1950) before starting the course; this form must be signed by both your line manager and education staff. The course/ activity must be proven to directly benefit the Service (unless it is in preparation for resettlement) and must be show to help your development or resettlement.
