NABCEP PV Associate Course approved for GI Bill Education Benefits

HeatSpring’s Solar PV Bootcamp + NABCEP PV Associate Prep course is a newly approved prep course in the Veterans Administration’s WEAMS system. That means the GI Bill education benefits will reimburse you for the full course tuition. The NABCEP PV Associate exam fees are also covered.

Who is covered?

To use your education benefits to pay for prep courses, you must have already applied and been approved for one of these benefits:

• Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), or
• Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (Chapter 35)

780,599 people were eligible for these programs in the 2023 fiscal year. Are you one of them? Are you interested in a solar career? Find out how to apply for VA education benefits
