Anyone working on or earned a certificate using the Army Credentialing Assistance Program? If so how did you sign up for a certificate program? Who did you need to notify to get any costs covered for this?

Years ago my mechanics did the ASE certification for diesel and fuel/electrical. Was administered by the education center. They went there, took the exam, those that passed received the cert through the mail.

Officers usually don't get much love in this,program. Soldiers and NCOs tend to have more choices: https://www.goarmyed.com/public/public_earn_degree-credentialing-cool.aspx
