Certification Information

The good news in the certification program is that DoD policy now permits agencies to pay for certification expenses.

"In order to provide an incentive for recruiting and retention of civilians, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 permits agencies to pay expenses for employees to obtain professional credentials. The Department of Defense policy authorized the military Services to capitalize on this opportunity for both appropriated and nonappropriated fund employees. This policy permits agencies to pay expenses for employees to obtain and renew professional credentials, including expenses for professional accreditation, professional licenses, certification, and examinations to obtain such credentials."
