Armed Forces Funding
Funding Breakdown Information for Armed Forces Leavers There are many types of educational funding available for people in the Armed Forces, the main two are Resettlement Grants and Enhanced Learning Credits.
Please find more details below:
Resettlement funding is made available to those leaving the Forces looking to Retrain for a Civilian Career. Most Service leavers qualify for up to seven weeks resettlement time for personal and career development during their last two years in the Services. This may be used for HE or FE course(s), specialist training, or as an attachment with a potential employer while still drawing a Service salary.
Here is the breakdown of the figures for Resettlement funding:
- One off payment of £534 for the cost of a course.
- Daily allowance of £79.00 – This covers Accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner (£53 accommodation; £21 food; £5 incidental expenses. Up to a maximum of 49 days, depending on length of service
- Maximum Resettlement Time Allowances:
6 years service = 28 days
8 years service = 35 days
12 years service = 42 days
16+ years service = 49 days
- Resettlement Grant: A tax-free lump sum of up to £15,047 (depending on circumstances and scheme) paid in your final month’s salary. It is available to regular personnel who have served at least 12 years (or 9 years for certain officers) and do not qualify for an immediate pension or Early Departure Payment (EDP). [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Individual Resettlement Training Costs (IRTC) Grant: A contribution of up to £534 available to those who have served 6 or more years or received a medical discharge. This grant “buys” up to 20 days of contract-funded training through the Career Transition Partnership (MOD CTP). [1, 2]
- Graduated Resettlement Time (GRT): Official duty allocation of up to 35 days of paid time away from your workplace depending on length of service, alongside travel and subsistence coverage. [1]

The package is additional to, and is offered in collaboration with, a wide range of support from the Welsh Government and our partner organisations such as Careers Wales and Jobcentre Plus. The ReAct programme is supported by the European Social Fund (ESF). There are three parts to the scheme.
