Your Standard Learning Credits (SLC’s) are available to you as an annual allowance, from 1^stApril each year. This funding does not roll over to the next year, so if you don’t use it you will lose it! This operates as a refund scheme and is a great way for you to develop yourself throughout your career.

The SLC represents the service person and is a fantastic opportunity to engage in Continuing Professional Development in a Bite Size manner.

It promotes lifelong learning among members of the Armed Forces. The Standard Learning Credit (SLC) scheme supplies financial support, throughout the career of Service Personnel (SP), for multiple, small-scale Learning Purposes to further motivate Regular and Reserve Service People to pursue personal development throughout their Service.

Your Single Service Guidelines, point out the following: (JSP822 Pt1 V2)

• • The SP must be authorised to undertake the activity and registered with Ed Staff in accordance with single Service (sS) instructions.
  • The SP must be able to demonstrate that the activity will directly benefit the Service, unless the activity is being undertaken as preparation for resettlement.
  • The proposed activity has a substantial developmental value or, where applicable, resettlement content, and is appropriate to the SP personal development needs and within their ability.
