Separating military members can now get help earning professional certification or licenses related to their military jobs for the civilian world before they leave the service. Where to go? Online. Many military specialties require certification or licensing to perform that job in the civilian world. Some of the more common are information technology and telecommunications jobs, most specialties in the medical and aviation fields, and most types of engineers and mechanics.
Do you need a license for your current job or desired job? Search for licensing requirements by state, occupation, or agency.
DANTES has agreements with over 50 nationally recognized certification associations. Military personnel may already have the experience and knowledge required to gain certification in their occupational specialty.
