  • As of 11 Dec 2024 CA will provide Soldiers up to $2,000 each year to pay for one credential; selected aviation-related credentials are limited to $1,000
  • Soldiers are now limited to 3 credentials for their first 10 years of service. After completion of 10 years of service, Soldiers are eligible for another 3 credential
    • Recertifications of previously earned credentials do not count toward the 1 credential max per FY or the 3 credential max for 10 years of service.
    • Soldiers are now required to take the exam associated with the credential they are pursuing. If the Soldier does not take the exam within 180 days after completion of the training or fails the exam, they will be recouped
  • Soldiers may use both Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) and Army Credentialing Assistance (CA); however, CA is limited to $2,000 per FY of the total $4,500 FTA FY limit
  • CA can be used for any credential listed on Army COOL and does not have to be related to the Soldier's MOS
