Credentialing Assistance Program News Today

Credentialing assistance began in 2018 as a pilot program and allows soldiers to use up to $4,000 per fiscal year to earn certifications as project managers, personal trainers, private pilots and other jobs.

The education benefits, which are currently under review and cost the Army about $278 million last year, are broadly popular among the rank and file, and are among the service's premier recruiting and retention tools.
