At TechSkills, we help you maximize the full power of your government COOL (Credentialing Opportunities Online) program, along with Certification Assistance (CA) and Tuition Assistance (TA), to turn your military experience into nationally recognized civilian certifications. As an approved provider of vendor-certified training, we guide service members and veterans through the funding process and deliver industry-aligned courses that directly support career advancement during and after military service.

Whether you’re leveraging COOL for credentialing, CA for professional certifications, or TA for continued education, TechSkills ensures your benefits are used efficiently to build in-demand skills that translate seamlessly into the civilian workforce.

Why COOL Matters

Getting certified shouldn’t mean asking for leave or missing work. TechSkills offers live, instructor-led certification training in the evenings and on weekends, so you can meet DoW requirements and advance your career without disrupting your mission. The DoW’s COOL initiative empowers service members to pursue industry-recognized certifications and licenses that:

• Validate your technical skills with civilian employers
  
• Enhance your specialty on duty
  
• Increase competitiveness for promotions
  
• Smooth your transition to civilian careers after service

Whether you’re aiming to strengthen your technical skillset or prepare for post-service opportunities, COOL funding helps reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket training costs.
