Why choose one of these programmes? The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is proud of its close educational association with the nation’s armed forces. This affiliation has been highly successful in creating study opportunities for a great number of military students from level 3 to post graduate programmes. At UWTSD we are committed to developing this very distinctive aspect of our work as part of our future strategy. Our Military programmes are designed to allow serving and ex-serving members of all services, as well as their MOD civilian colleagues to achieve academic recognition of their extensive work experience and formal training. Recognising the significant operation experience and training of military and civil service personnel, the programmes are open to all suitably qualified and experienced officers, NCOs and other ranks. Typically students take 8 to 36 months to complete their studies; however, flexibility is a key feature.
Funding
UWTSD ELC Provider Number 1763 UWTSD is an approved ELC course provider and can help you make the most of your ELC entitlement. The ELC scheme is designed to complement the Standard Learning Credit scheme by providing larger scale help to personnel who qualify, with a single payment each of a maximum of three separate financial years, to help pay towards the cost of higher-level learning. ELCs may be claimed for learning which is an integral part of the results in the cost effective achievement of a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3 (A level and equivalent) and above as defined by the National Qualifications Framework (NQF)/Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) (England and Wales), a Level 6 or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or, if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent higher level qualification.
Logistics Programmes
ELC awards are available at two “tiers”, the “Lower Tier” level of up to £1000 per annum for those with four or more years’ eligible service; and at the “Upper Tier” level of up to £2000 per annum for those with eight or more years’ eligible service. Providing they meet all the criteria, personnel may make ELC claims in up to three separate financial years (which need not be consecutive and may be a combination of lower tier and upper tier funds) either while in service or four to ten years for after leaving. ELC funds may be directed at one learning purpose (such as successive years’ study towards a particular qualification) or different purposes in each of the three years. Find out more at your local Service Education Centre.
