Standard Learning Credits

The MOD’s Standard Learning Credits (SLC) scheme provides you, as Regular and Reserve armed forces service personnel, with an incentive to professionally develop yourselves throughout your military career.

Each year (1st April – 31 March) service personnel can access up to a maximum of £175 worth of funding to be used on certain course and qualifications. The funding can only cover 80% of the fees meaning a £200 course will only cost you £40.
