We also offer OFTEC-approved oil training for Service Leavers with some experience of working with oil systems.

Your Resettlement Officer can offer you the best advice regarding funding, and we can help you choose the right courses.

For all Armed Forces Service Leavers

We have courses to suit you, whether you’re completely new to your chosen industry or have experience working with gas or electrics either in the Forces or elsewhere. 

We run a wide range of domestic, commercial, and commercial catering gas courses. We also offer OFTEC-approved oil training for Service Leavers with some experience of working with oil systems.

You’ll benefit from first-class training in a CIPHE-approved training centre with industry-experienced trainers who are second to none. Our aim is to ensure you leave with an industry-recognised qualification, and the knowledge and ability to carry out work safely and confidently.

Our centre in Portchester is conveniently located near to HMS Nelson in Portsmouth, and our second centre is located just off the A23 in Sussex, between Brighton and Gatwick.




Using your MOD-enhanced learning credits (ELCAS)

All our Course Packages are certificated to Level 3 and if you are a Service Leaver registered with ELCAS, you could use your ELCAS enhanced learning credits to pay towards the cost of your course.  Our ELCAS number is 1664.

Your Resettlement Officer will be able to offer you the best advice regarding funding, and we can help you choose the right courses.

There is a five-step process to guarantee your space on the course of your choice, summarised below:

  1. Once you are ready to book a course, contact us by phone, email or in writing so we can hold a space for you while you apply to ELCAS for your enhanced learning credits.
  2. We will send you a confirmation of booking for the course of your choice – no payment is required at this stage.
  3. You should then send us your MOD form “Agreement for CWA/CTA and advance of the fees claim form (Ref MOD form 1746 03/10)” which we will complete and return to you to submit your claim.
  4. We will hold the space on the course for you for four weeks to enable you to apply for enhanced learning credits through your resettlement officer. When your funding has been approved you will receive a Claim Authorisation Note (CAN).
  5. Please take a copy for yourself, then send us the original CAN as soon as you receive it. We will then contact you to arrange payment of your contribution.

Full details of the booking process can be found on the ELC information sheet.
