Re: Mr Ling
The MOD individuals are employed in the biomedical engineering field are called MDSS - they only way Navy/Army/RAF MDSS are allowed on the course is if they come from medical engineering background.
Getting funding from the MOD is a bit of a nightmare, the MOD provide enhanced learning credits (£6000) which can be used for further education and can be used up to 10 years after leaving the forces, however recently people leaving the forces have had to use some/most of this money to offset the cost of any resettlement activity that they choose to do.
What people leaving the forces have found is that certified resettlement providers i.e. the private sector have put up their costs as they know we have enhanced learning credits. You get something in one hand and its taken out the other.
An example of this: a course in Aldershot has went up from just under £1000 to just over £1800 in one go.
