You have our back. And we've got yours.

The Army Credentialing Assistance (CA) Program allows Soldiers to earn professional and technical credentials. The CA program is similar to the Army’s existing Tuition Assistance program and provides financial assistance for Soldiers to pursue and earn credentials leading to an industry- recognized academic or vocational credential. These credentials do not have to be linked to the Soldier's MOS!

This is a voluntary, off-duty training and education program that directly contributes to improving Total Army readiness, supporting Soldiers’ professional development, retaining quality Soldiers, and preparing Soldiers for meaningful employment upon transition from military service
