The Army's Credentialing Assistance (CA) Program has officially left the testing phase and is now open to all eligible soldiers Army-wide.

CA functions much like Tuition Assistance (TA) by providing eligible soldiers in the Army, regardless of current MOS, $4,000 a year for courses and exams in industry-recognized credentials within the field of their choice.

As always, please speak with your local Army Educational Advisor for more information regarding the steps and requirements for using CA.

Note:
The website for Army COOL has been redesigned and now reflects the current information regarding CA. Visit the links below to learn more about CA, and to explore how you can start your journey towards success today.
