DASS (Defence Assisted Study Scheme)

DASS exists to improve the in-service study opportunities for military personnel of all rank levels and to encourage individuals to consider professional training and education options throughout their career. DASS subsumes the former Defence Force Assisted Study Scheme (DFASS) and Services Vocational and Educational Training Scheme (SVETS) but does not provide for the development of job-specific training or military career progression qualifications. These requirements are covered by Service Civil Schooling Schemes or by Service training providers. It should also be noted that sponsorship under DASS in no way inhibits a member's ability to be posted.

Information on DASS can be found in DI(G)PERS 5-1
