ELCAS Funded ISO Auditor Training Now Available at QHSE Aberdeen
QHSE Aberdeen is proud to announce that we are now ELCAS approved, allowing eligible Armed Forces personnel and Service leavers to use their Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to access professional training with us.
This approval marks an important milestone for the organisation as we continue to expand our training capability and support individuals transitioning from military service into rewarding civilian careers.
Through ELCAS funded training, delegates can now enrol on a range of CQI and IRCA approved ISO auditor courses designed to develop practical auditing competence across quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems.
What is ELCAS Funding?
The Enhanced Learning Credits Administration Service (ELCAS) provides financial support for Armed Forces personnel and veterans to pursue further education and professional training.
The scheme helps individuals gain recognised qualifications that support career development and successful transition into civilian employment.
With ELCAS funding, eligible learners can significantly reduce the cost of professional training while gaining qualifications that are recognised across industries worldwide.
