Hi all,

Just a quick query.. Has anyone used the ELC (£2000 per year for 3 years) on anything useful.

Was thinking about degree etc, but thinking about going down the plumber / electrician route now.

Open to all ideas, and if anyone felt the course they did was particuarly useful any information would be appreciated?

Regards

    Ive started to use the SLC's. Always courses that i can get myself on, just getting the time off work is the difficult bit.

    Should have another £100 coming back to me end of Jan 2012, with the option to use another one this year.

    i am currently in my resettlement phase and using two of my elc's for it/networking.

    the problem if you are not in resettlement is that the course is supposed to be of benefit to the service. this makes it very tricky to do a course which is of benefit to you
    You got to get through what you've got to go through to get what you want but you got to know what you want to get through what you got to go through.
