TRAINING FACILITY: PM ProLearn

At PM-ProLearn, we’re dedicated to helping people just like you enhance their careers and their lives with professional certifications. As a company owned and operated by Veterans with real-world project management experience, we understand your journey and are here to guide you every step of the way.

 

Now, you can earn certifications and have all fees covered by the VA through their licensing and certification reimbursement program. To offset the upfront costs, PM-ProLearn’s deferred payment option allows you to enroll with just a $100 deposit. This allows the VA to cover 95% of the upfront costs, reducing initial burden and risks. Reimbursement takes about 2 weeks.

 

Many service members and Veterans assume they’ve exhausted their GI Bill® benefits, but you may still have eligibility available—veterans who served multiple periods of service, qualifying for both the Montgomery GI Bill® and the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, can now access benefits from both programs, up to a combined 48 months, rather than being limited to the 36 months previously. Before ruling it out, check your GI Bill® benefits eligibility here.

 

If you’ve fully used your Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits, Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) could be another way to fund your certifications.

 

PM-ProLearn is the only approved training provider that allows you to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill® to cover both training costs and exam fees for the Project Management Professional (PMP®), Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP®), Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®), and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB). Read more below to see how the GI Bill® can work for you.
