Use Your VA Education Benefits Through Our Partner, The Code Academy

Because of our partnership with The Code Academy, a VA-approved school, veterans and eligible family members can now use their VA education benefits to request reimbursement for IT certification training — starting with the CompTIA Server+ Boot Camp.

Thank you for your service. Many of our students are veterans and military families, and paying for certification training should not stand in the way of a new IT career. Here is what the partnership means for you.

What this means for you

  • The Code Academy is approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (facility code 46P00310).
  • If you enrol in the CompTIA Server+ Boot Camp through The Code Academy, VA can pay you back for the course, up to the approved $2,495.
  • You pay the tuition first, then request your money back from VA after the class.

You can take the course in whichever way suits you:

  • In the classroom — at our Miami campus
  • Distance learning — live online with an instructor, from home
  • Hybrid — a mix of classroom and live online sessions

Who qualifies

You must already be approved for one of these benefits:

  • Chapter 33 — Post-9/11 GI Bill®
  • Chapter 35 — Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA)

How to get started

  1. Read the full step-by-step guide on The Code Academy’s GI Bill® page.
  2. Enrol in the CompTIA Server+ Boot Camp with The Code Academy.
  3. After the class, send VA Form 22-10272 to VA with your receipt and proof of enrollment.
Please note: the VA approval belongs to The Code Academy. To use your benefits, enrol through The Code Academy — courses booked directly with The Academy are not covered by this approval. Call us and we will set it up for you.
