About Defence
The Joint Headquarters is served by a Resettlement and Education Centre. The Centre facilitates access to a full range of educational and career development opportunities including GCSE and A Levels examinations. Advice on other educational and vocational qualifications can also be given. In many cases personnel may take advantage of the Standard and Enhanced Learning Credit Schemes to offset the cost of their education.
Education Centre
There is a fully equipped classroom, available for meetings and presentations, an Interactive Learning Facility with nine PCs and a reference and fiction library. Specific books may be ordered through the Centre from the Services' Central Library.
The Interactive Learning Facility is available to all Service personnel, Civil Service and permanently based contractors, offering courses in personnel development and computer operating skills at all levels including ECDL. Bookings can be made via Ext 57898; 24 hours notice is preferred but short notice (20 mins) can usually be managed. The internet facility may be used for both education and resettlement activities as well as forces 'E' Bluey. The driving Matrix test can also be taken at the Facility; bookings via Ext 57898.
Resettlement
Resettlement interviews are conducted as requested and advice is available at any time. All those within 2 years of discharge should attend a formal resettlement interview with the Education Officer. These may be booked through the Assistant Education Officer ext 57825.
Remember
Education and Resettlement facilities exist solely for your benefit. Professional and career development is the key to keeping your skills current and transferable. Everybody leaves the Service eventually - make sure you are prepared.
