ELC SCHEME
The Certificate in Terrorism Studies course qualifies for financial support from the Enhanced Learning Credits Scheme for eligible current and former members of the UK armed forces.

IBC Academy/ Informa UK Ltd (the course manager for the University of St Andrews) is an approved learning provider on the ELC scheme (Provider number 2035). To check if you are eligible and for more information about the scheme please visit www.enhancedlearningcredits.com.

If you are applying for ELC funding, you must quote IBC Academy/ Informa UK Ltd as your learning provider (provider number 2035) on your CAN.  Participants who state University of St Andrews as the learning provider will have their CAN rejected and you will have to request the form is amended.  This can delay the processing of your application so please ensure you quote the correct provider details as well as course fee and your chosen start date, in order to ensure your claim can be dealt with promptly.

For participants who are receiving ELC funding, please state this on your application form. Please ensure that in the billing address you state where the invoice for your part of the fees should be sent to and also confirm the amount you are due to pay. As soon as you receive your Claim Authorisation Notice (CAN), please send the original (keeping a copy for yourself) to the address shown on the application form. Please note that photocopies, faxes or scans cannot be accepted.
