How to Use This Tool

1

Find Your Certifications

Search by your MOS, AFSC, or NEC code, or browse by career field to find certifications that align with your military experience.

2

Check VA Funding

Use the VA-funded filter to find certifications covered by COOL, AFCOOL, Credentialing Assistance, VET TEC, or the GI Bill. Many exams can be fully funded.

3

Start Before You Separate

Active-duty members can use COOL and Credentialing Assistance now. Apply for SkillBridge up to 180 days before separation to train with a civilian employer while still receiving military pay.

Certification costs, VA funding eligibility, and salary estimates are approximate and may change. Always verify current pricing and funding availability with the certifying organization and your education services officer or VA counselor.
