Eligible Veterans can open new doors to employment in the construction industry by becoming certified as a Green Advantage Certified Practitioner (GACP) or Green Advantage Certified Associate (GACA). Reimbursement for both of these certification exams has been approved by the Maryland State Approving Agency for Veterans Education and Training. Sharpen your knowledge, skills, and abilities in green construction and improve your employment options by becoming Green Advantage Certified!
Types of Assistance
There is no limit to the number of Green Advantage Exams you may take, or the number of times you may take the same Green Advantage Exam. And, if you are eligible, VA will pay for Green Advantage Exams even if you fail them.
Available Benefits
VA pays only the exam costs – $175 for each Green Advantage Exam. Reimbursement is issued after you submit proof of payment to VA. This approval is effective worldwide. Detailed information is available online in the VA Licensing and Certification Pamphlet.
