Get Certified with Army Credentialing Assistance!

Are you trying to get credentials to help you while serving or after the Army? Do you want to be reimbursed for those credentials? As part of the Army Credentialing Assistance Program, you can make it happen.

The program has been tested at Fort Hood and Fort Campbell and will roll out based on the schedule below starting in October. The program is similar to Tuition Assistance in that users have a total of $4,000 per fiscal year to use on credentials. To see if you are eligible, click HERE. The combined allowance for TA and ACAP is $4,000.
