What is the Army Credentialing Assistance (CA) Program

The Credentialing Assistance program provides financial assistance for voluntary off-duty civilian education programs. CA programs support a soldier’s professional and personal self-development goals. Active-duty officers, warrant officers, enlisted, Army National Guard and reserve can participate in CA. Credentialing Assistance (CA) helps soldiers meet their professional and personal self-development goals. With CA, the Army pays all or a portion of the charges of an educational institution. CA covers credentialing and expenses.
