How to claim ELC funding?
If you are planning on using your ELC allowance call us and we will talk you through the process, it can seem complex but it really isn't (we do this every week).  An example of how it works is - If you are on a higher level due to over 8 years experience and would like to attend a course package that costs £2,500, your ELC entitlement would be 80% or £2,000.  Your contribution/payment would be £500 - it is possible to use your resettlement allowance of £534 for this payment.
We can email or tell you over the phone all of the information that your resettlement officer needs to process the claim (the information is also in the further information tab of each course package).  Once your ELC funding has been approved you will receive a Claim Authorisation Note in the post which we need a copy of.  If you wish to claim your resettlement allowance of £534 please send a 1746 form to us and we will complete the relevant sections for you.  You can email or fax any documents to us, our fax number is 01782 801065.   Your resettlement officer is your first port of call and should be able to support you throughout your claim but if you do need any additional help you know where we are.
