Education & Training
The Education & Training Section prepares Airmen and their Families to meet academic and career challenges for today and tomorrow. The Air Force uses this program for recruitment and retention as well as readiness.
Education & Training will be CLOSED during the following dates:
Friday, December 13th – 10:30 AM to 1 PM
The MilPDS system will be unavailable for maintenance from December 26 to January 2. As a result, Airmen and Guardians will not be able to submit applications for Tuition Assistance (TA) through the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC) during this time.Per DAFI 36-2670, Airmen must request TA within the following timeframe:• No earlier than 45 days prior to the start of the term• No later than 7 days prior to the start of the termIf you plan to take a class starting in early January, it is highly recommended that you submit your TA application before the scheduled maintenance outage (December 26). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local Education Center for assistance.
The Education and Training Section supports long-range Air Force goals for maintaining a high-quality force by providing educational opportunities to enhance professional and personal development of our Airmen. We provide Air Force Tuition Assistance for degree completion ranging from the CCAF Associate degree to graduate degrees. We have 4 academic institutions on base to provide to a variety of degree programs for our personnel. We administer testing services for Airmen enrolled in the non-resident Professional Military Education programs , Career Development Courses, Promotion Testing, non-linguist language testing (DLPT, DLAB), specialized testing (AFOQT, AFCT, etc), and CLEP/DSST tests offered through our on-base DANTES National Test Center. The Education and Training Section also provides academic and vocational counseling, information on funding education (GI Bill and other sources) for military personnel, family members, DOD civilians, retirees, and other beneficiaries.
*Students need to complete their CCAF degree/requirements BEFORE enrolling in a university’s AU-ABC Category 1 degree program. This action will ensure schools will be able to review all completed CCAF requirements and able to correctly advise the student on how many credits will remain for a 4-year degree completion.
Resources
Post-9/11 GI Bill
VA recently modernized the Post-9/11 GI Bill® application process based on feedback and usability testing sessions held with Veterans and service members. The streamlined experience means it’s never been easier or faster for Veterans and service members to apply for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits. Those applying for the first time, using their own benefits, may experience:
- Faster education benefits decisions
- User-intuitive designs and streamlined processes
- Pre-filled applicant information, including service history
- Downloadable decision letters
We hope knowing this will help persuade more Veterans and service members to use the benefits they’ve earned. VA’s goal is to continue modernizing the GI Bill experience for students by expanding this enhanced application experience to other populations in the future. With this enhancement, applicants can spend less time filling out an application and more time forging their post-service career path.
