4 Online Certificate Programs MyCAA Will Cover

Curious about which online certificates MyCAA will cover for you?

As a military spouse, you have plenty of options when it comes to using your My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) benefit. As long as your educational program ends with you receiving a license, certification or Associate’s degree in a portable career field, it’s generally covered.

Luckily, MedCerts programs fit that requirement, which means you typically pay nothing to go back to school and find a new career. Best of all, you can take classes from the comfort of your own home.

Here we list five MedCerts online certificates MyCAA covers:
