Enhanced Learning Credits
 

I feel it is time to cash in some ELCs.

What is the most creative use anybody has come up with to successfully enjoy their free training?

Funny, useful, or bizarre, I will consider all options.

Useful, but nauseous ATPL "grounds"...:eek:

A glamour photography course - ELC provider found, all above board...

...once I convinced the Learning Centre by offering my talents after the course. Still looking for models to maintain currency...:E

Now thats what I'm talking about!

please pm me the provider details, that is my head mark so far.

No, really?

I would like to apologise for the flagrant innaccuracy in my origional post. What i should have said is:-

What is the most creative use anybody has come up with to successfully enjoy their heavily subsidised training thus accepting the small personal contribution in the interests of seeing pusser off to the max?


Can we get back to the purpose of the thread now please?

WTF? ?

Not the use of ELC, but there was a stink in the press a while ago when an SACW found a training provider to instruct her as a pole dancer as part of her resettlement. And that is free up to your earned entitlement, including T&S.

I fear that my naked body gyrating on a pole is not really a good idea.


Not after the last time.............

All you need to know...

As this is a rumour site ...

I understand that the relevant staish signed off on condition of a licensing type check in the Officers Mess?

Yes you should - if you want to pay tax on it. Of course, you could use all three, tax-free, whilst you're still in.....

A mate of mine went to Sri Lanka for 6 weeks to learn how to train elephants. He told the resettlement people that he wanted to join a circus when he left the RAF at the age of 55.

Having seen Tourist attempt dancing on a pole, I'd have to request no one encourage him. I too would love to know what else people have managed to use ELCAS for. (think I'm also a bit past the pole dancing age).

Use it or lose it.............

Ah Junglie.

Surely you should now change your name to:-

LuckybstardsunningatEmiratesdriver?

and I was better on the pole than you, fattass:hmm:

I believe if you use it for resettlement then you are exempt the 20% self contribution too. Easiest way is to just google ELCAS and have a browse through their courses (you need a rough idea of what you are interested in or you will be there all day).
Know a guy who has used it to study Spanish in Spain.

Not quite true. You still need to pay the 20%. The difference is that you can use all, or part of your £534 resettlement grant to pay the 20%. As a result you may be able to claim without having to hand over any money from your bank account but you will still have paid the 20% by using up your other allowances.

To be fair, He did successfully miss out one of the few bits that should have been capitalised.:rolleyes:
