From ArmyIgnitED to DoD COOL

A broader credentialing page for military and federal learners.

This page keeps the Army Credentialing Assistance pathway, but expands the message to the broader DoD COOL ecosystem and Service-specific credentialing programs.

What is DoD COOL?

Credentialing Opportunities On-Line helps Service members connect military occupations and career experience to civilian credentials, including certifications, licenses, and apprenticeships. Service members should use their specific Service COOL site to verify credential eligibility, funding rules, and application procedures before enrolling in training.

How to get started

Recommended credentialing workflow.

Use this process before enrolling, especially if you plan to request military credentialing assistance or reimbursement.

Search COOL

Start at DoD COOL or your Service-specific COOL site. Search your military occupation, civilian career goal, or credential name.

Confirm eligibility

Review the credential, funding rules, documentation requirements, timeline, and whether your Service requires command, supervisor, or education-office approval.

Request funding

Use the required Service portal, such as ArmyIgnitED for eligible Army Credentialing Assistance requests, when applicable.

Select training

Choose the ADRA program connected to your credential pathway and confirm enrollment instructions with the ADRA registrar.

Enroll and train

After authorization is approved, complete registration, begin coursework, and prepare for your credentialing goal.

Official credentialing portals

Use your Service COOL pathway first.

Eligibility, approval, funding, and credential rules can differ by Service. Start with your official program site.

ADRA credential-aligned programs

Programs for Service members, federal learners, and career-transition professionals.

These are the primary programs currently presented on the existing ArmyIgnitED page and refreshed for a DoD COOL credentialing audience.

Important: DoD COOL, Army COOL, AF COOL, and other Service credentialing programs control eligibility and funding decisions. ADRA program registration does not guarantee Credentialing Assistance approval, COOL listing, reimbursement, exam eligibility, or funding authorization. Verify with your Service COOL portal, education office, or approving authority before purchase or enrollment.
