Study Active are an ELCAS Approved Provider of Personal Training Qualifications
Study Active is delighted to be able to offer funding for existing and former MoD Personnel who are eligible for the ELCAS Scheme. This provides a funded route for those leaving the forces to pursue a career as a Personal Trainer.
What course is eligible?
ELCAS will only fund courses at Level 3 or above so the following courses are eligible for funding.
Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing & Personal Training
Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training (for those who already have Level 2 Gym Instructing).
Level 3 Exercise Referral
Level 3 Pre & Post Natal
(Any combination of these courses as a "bundle" is possible, please speak to us about this).
How much funding?
ELCAS will fund 80% of a training course, up to the value of the amounts accrued. There is always a need for a 20% personal contribution, so the lesser the price of the course, the lesser the personal contribution would be. For example our Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing & Personal Training is £1248. This would be funded as follows:
Total Price (inc VAT)
£1248.00
ELCAS contribution
£998.40
Personal Contribution
£249.60
How do I apply?
Firstly, please contact us to have a chat about the course to make sure it is the course for you. Then if you are interested, you will need to make sure you are eligible for ELCAS funding (your Education centre will be able to advise you).
You will then need to complete am Enhanced Learning Credit (ELC) form with the course details. You can obtain this form from us and we can guide you on completing it as there will be specific information like dates that need inputting.
You will then need to send your completed ELC form to ELCAS for approval.
Once approved you will receive a Claim Authorisation Note (CAN) from ELCAS. This needs to be forwarded to us. Once received we will need to take payment for 20% of the course fee from you.
Once the 20% payment is received and we are in receipt of the CAN, then you can start your course!
