Whilst enjoying your career within REME you may at some point decide to leave and start another career outside of the Army. The period of time immediately before you leave is called 'Resettlement'.

How does it work?

Resettlement allows you to gain careers advice, funding and time away to re-train for your next career. The amount of time and money will depend on the amount of time you have spent in the Army but generally ranges from 10 to 35 days.

Funding comes from various routes, i.e. resettlement grant, standard learning credits or enhanced learning credits and ranges from £175 to £2000.
