iTrain Confirmed as an approved ELCAS Learning Provider for Service Leavers
March 2009
iTrain, a CTP Partner, are pleased to announce their certification as an Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Services (ELCAS) Learning Provider. Having worked with the eSkills council to accredit iTrain courses, British Forces Service Leavers can now use the MoDs Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC) to fund their attendance on iTrain's courses. iTrain offers the complete technical stack of Oracle and Java courses running at our centres in London, Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh.
The MoDs Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELC) is an initiative to promote lifelong learning among members of the Armed Forces. The ELC scheme provides financial support in the form of a single up-front payment each financial year for a three year period. ELC funding is only available for pursuit of higher level learning i.e. for courses that result in a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3 or above on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) (England and Wales), a Level 6 or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent qualification.
With the reassurance that iTrain courses meet the MoDs requirements, Service Leavers will now benefit from iTrain's:
• Oracle, Java, & ERP Training Expertise;
• Oracle & Java Certified Qualifications and Skills;
• Pre & Post Course Career Support;
• Dedicated iTrain Course Advisor;
• And a fresh career start into a thriving industry sector.
iTrain's Service Leavers Course Adviser, Sophie Davis, comments, "Having worked closely with CTP, ELCAS and eSkills to put this in place, I am delighted that iTrain's range of courses are now open to Service Leavers wanting to gain business focused training in Oracle and Java from iTrain. The accreditation of courses ensures funds are used to make a real difference by adding a new proven skillset."
Andy Davies, having transitioned from the Royal Engineers to become an Oracle Enterprise Practice Manager adds; "Having spent 22 years as a communications specialist, my role took a natural course into computing and teaching computing skills. I had the knowledge, experience and skills but no recognized civilian qualifications. I wanted to offer my skills to the business sector and quickly realised that having an Oracle or general IT qualification was important for my CV. I worked hard to prove myself and am delighted that iTrain now offer the courses I was looking for before I left the military. I thoroughly recommend iTrain if you are looking for a second career in the IT industry or to teach IT to the business sector."
