Bywater passes ELCAS audit and continues to offer funded training for service leavers
28 Oct, 2025
Bywater is proud to announce that it has successfully passed its recent audit by the Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS). This achievement ensures that we can continue to provide eligible serving and former military personnel with access to highly sought-after professional development courses, part-funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
The successful audit confirms that Bywater’s training delivery and administrative processes meet ELCAS’s stringent quality standards, allowing eligible learners to claim up to 80% of their course fees.
Investing in the transition
The ELCAS scheme is a vital source of financial support for military personnel looking to transition into civilian careers. While service leavers often have invaluable skills in leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving, formal qualifications can be key to unlocking new job opportunities.
Bywater’s ELCAS-approved courses can help service personnel convert their military experience into internationally recognised qualifications across high-demand sectors such as:
These qualifications not only boost employability but can also lead directly to professional memberships.
Accessing funded training
As an approved provider, Bywater offers a wide range of ELCAS-eligible courses, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training, Lead Auditor Conversion courses, and Lean and Six Sigma training.
Our dedicated ELCAS support team is ready to guide service leavers through the entire process, from understanding eligibility to course booking and paperwork.
