Let's continue...
The other 2 services look at this in a very different fashion and I think that is where your organisation, Stuff, has got it wrong. I saw the Admin(Trg) peoples statement of fact last week at BZN - and it is twaddle! As Greenie said above, instead of acccepting the 'no', gather some evidence and reshow it.
Q1. What %age of service personnel use their SLC funding?
Between 2-5% every year (including me and Greenielynx pilot) - so employ some of that leadership stuff and tell people to use it before it is taken away from us 'because 95% of people weren't claiming it etc.'
Courses that have received funding include:
First Aid at Sea
Sea Survival
Powerboat Safety Boat
Day Skipper Theory
...PPL Revalidation Flights
How do I know this?
Because I have done them all over the 9 years and claimed every single year and they have been sold on the priniciple of being good for the Service.
Q2. What else can you do?
Get everyone under your command to check if they are eligible for ELC and, if so, get them to use the funding before it is removed as well. I have no doubt there will be some that will have never heard of it let alone joined the scheme.
I think it is time to draw this ________________________________________
