It is very difficult for veterans to convert some qualifications gained in the military to mainstream, nationally recognised qualifications, especially if you've been out of the military for some time.

I want the Government to fund a scheme to help veterans convert their military qualifications. This will help their civilian careers.
Quote from a lt col who tried to get some help:
"I have exhausted all sources in Lyneham, there is no way to map the REME qualifications, awarded back then, to current qualifications I’m afraid."
