Who are ELCAS?
The Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) is run by the MOD and offers financial support to those who are currently serving or leaving the armed forces. The scheme helps people gain a recognised qualification, which can open up new job opportunities.
To become an ELC Approved Learning Provider, Batalas has undergone an extensive assessment process, ensuring that training courses meet a strict learning criteria. The ELCAS scheme supports high level learning and is therefore only applicable to Lead Auditor and Auditor Conversion Batalas training courses.
