<p>Members of the Armed Forces can sit, or re-sit, a GCSE at any point in their career,
provided they do so through a recognised examination centre. 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>
