Service Education centres are able to provide this facility free of charge in the UK and when serving overseas.</p><p>Where Service personnel choose to sit examinations at an external Examination Centre, for example where the examination is not offered by their Service Education Centre, financial support is provided through the Standard Learning Credit Scheme which allows Service personnel to claim 80% of course and examination fees (including GCSEs), up to a maximum of £175 per financial year. Standard Learning Credits are unable to be used for an examination resit only, as a course of instruction must be included.</p><p>Military personnel are also entitled to use Colleges of Further Education to attend a variety of education courses and to take examinations and resits, subject to payment of the appropriate fees.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>There are some 60 nations involved in the coalition and over a dozen in ongoing air activity over Iraq and Syria. The UK has deployed two types of armed aircraft in the operation against ISIL; the Tornado GR4 and the Reaper, Remotely Piloted Air System. As at 31 January 2015, these aircraft have flown 392 missions and released 206 weapons against ISIL targets. The UK have also provided other aircraft to perform surveillance, air refuelling and air transport roles. In concert with Iraqi and Kurdish ground units, coalition air activities have helped to check ISIL's advance and in some places begun to reverse that advance.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence promotes lifelong learning among members of the Armed Forces, and encourages this through the Learning Credits scheme.</p><p>The Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme provides help towards the cost of higher-level learning and is funded by the single Services. Eligible personnel make a personal contribution of 20% of total course fees and can receive a single payment, in each of a maximum of three separate financial years, of up to £1,000 or £2,000 (depending on qualifying scheme membership) to cover up to a maximum of 80% of course fees. The ELC scheme helps members of the Armed Forces to pursue their personal development, both during their Service and for up to ten years afterwards, subject to the qualifying criteria being met.</p><p>ELC claims must be for a course of study that is an integral part of, and results in, the cost effective achievement of a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3 (A level and equivalent) and above as defined by the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) (England and Wales), a Level 6 or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or, if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent higher level qualification. Post graduate level qualifications would thus be admissible, providing that they are nationally recognised as such.</p>
