Having promoted and supported service leavers for many years, we have always been a true and passionate advocate for helping those who have selflessly served our Country. As an accolade of this dedication, we have been awarded the Gold Award of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme, which is a true honour for Transport Training Academy.
Eligible service personnel can access a range of allowances and grants as part of the resettlement process.
INDIVIDUAL RESETTLEMENT TRAINING COSTS (IRTC)
Available to service leavers with 6 or more years’ service and all medical discharges. It is a contribution to training costs and has a capped amount.
STANDARD LEARNING CREDITS (SLC)
These are available to all serving personnel regardless of length of service.
ENHANCED LEARNING CREDITS (ELCAS)
The MoD’s Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELCAS) promotes lifelong learning amongst members of the Armed Forces. Providing financial support in each of a maximum of three separate financial years, the scheme enables higher level learning with an approved Learning Provider, such as us at TTA. There are several stages to the ELCAS process. Full information is set out in the Joint Service Publication (JSP) 822. Strict conditions apply for the use of ELC Funding.

The Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) acknowledges employers who have provided
exceptional support to the armed forces and defence community by going above and beyond their covenant pledges. The scheme recognises different levels of commitment in companies across the country, utilising a 3-tier award system of bronze, silver and gold. It provides the Ministry of Defence the opportunity to publicly thank and honour these organisations for their ongoing support.
At the Transport Training Academy, we are pleased to have been awarded the Gold Award, demonstrating our commitment and dedication to this scheme.
Having promoted and supported the Armed Forces and Service Leavers for many years, we have always been a true and passionate advocate for helping those who have selflessly served our country. Some years ago, we aligned ourselves with 156 Regiment Royal Logistics Corps and in particular with 236 Supply Squadron, which is our local unit. Thanks to the synergy between our industries, we felt there was much value to be had for both of us by supporting one another in a robust partnership. Over the years, this relationship has grown and developed, leading us to also support the Reserve Forces and Cadets Association for the North West of England and the Isle of Man.
For numerous years we have promoted the reserve services within our organisation by allowing them access, every month, to our learners. This involves a member of their team making a presentation to groups of learners, many of whom are unemployed. They discuss the various options available to them, along with the process of applying for and becoming a Reservist. With this support, we have been able to promote the crucial work the Reservists do and the benefit of becoming one. As a result, many of them have gone on to join both the reserves and regular service.
We intend to hold quarterly Logistics Information Days for the region’s Cadets to help educate them on the careers available within the industry. These days will include interactive competitions using our plant and vehicles. Not only have we been advising military personnel on their resettlement options for over 15 years, we are also approved providers for the Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme (ELCAS)
Our instructors include veterans who understand the emotions and uncertainty that service leavers experience. To ensure that we offer the highest level of support, an internal lead from the Ministry of Defence to act as a mentor. They give invaluable advice and guidance to any service leaver that uses our organisation. Our impartial advice includes career options and choices, as well as signposting service leavers to other specialist support organisations within our network.
