Fund it through VR&E.

If you are a veteran with a service-connected disability, Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness & Employment can fund training and your exam when project management is part of your approved plan. It runs through your VR&E counselor. Here is how to get it added.

The short version: VR&E can pay for your training and exam when your counselor approves them as part of your employment plan. The decision and the payment go through your counselor, not through us. We provide a quote you hand to them.

Through your counselor
Who qualifies
  • Veterans: a service-connected disability rating of 10% or higher from the VA.
  • Transitioning service members: going through the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) process, or holding a VA memorandum rating of 20% or higher and preparing to separate.
Step by step

Four steps through VR&E.

  1. Talk to your VR&E counselor

    Ask about adding project management certification to your Chapter 31 employment plan. If you are not yet enrolled in VR&E, start with the application in the next step and a counselor will be assigned.

  2. Apply with VA Form 28-1900

    Submit your Application for Veteran Readiness and Employment online, by mail or in person at a VA regional office, or with help from a Veterans Service Organization (VSO).

  3. Get a quote from us for your plan

    Contact us and we will send an itemized quote for your boot camp and exam that you can hand to your counselor as part of your plan.

    Reach out and tell us your target certification and timeline.

  4. Let your counselor authorize funding

    If your counselor approves the certification as part of your employment plan, they authorize the funding directly. You should not have to pay out of pocket.

Good to know: VR&E is administered by the VA through your counselor, who decides what is covered and authorizes payment. Our role is to provide the quote and any documentation they ask for. Rules change, so confirm specifics with your counselor. Email info@pm4life.biz with questions.
