Why PMP Military Certification
Many veterans have project management experience—just under a different name. The challenge is in the translation and repackaging of their skill sets so that hiring managers spot their skills. Mission-related often translates to ‘projectized,’ and the government and military are highly projectized environments, which make many veterans a natural fit for the project management world.
– PMI President and CEO, Mark A. Langley

Military Forms of Payment
There are a multitude of payment options for Military and veterans looking to complete the CAPM or PMP certification training programs that we offer. Review the information below and if you have any questions about the information provided or group training rates, please call us toll-free.
AFCOOL - Air Force Only
AF COOL is a credentialing program which can be used to fund PMP training and the first attempt at the exam. This program is mainly for anyone ranked E-7 or above. However, there may be exceptions if you’ve cross-trained and your previous career qualifies you for PMP certification. If you think you qualify, check with your branch’s education center for confirmation. If you do not qualify for the PMP certification, the CAPM certification is covered for anyone E-6 and below. Check the dates for our upcoming CAPM certification training courses.
The great news is we have a ton of experience working with AF COOL so if you’re feeling lost about the process, that’s completely normal. Give us a call at 866-540-3126 or send us an email to [email protected], and we’ll be more than happy to provide clarification and help you get the ball rolling.
GPC
A GPC, or Government Purchase Card, is a card specifically administered by the government for qualified, covered purchases. You can use this card to pay directly or pay through an invoice. Often the cardholder is a different person than the one attending the course, in which case we recommend paying via an invoice. If paying through an invoice, you will need to get request one from PMTI, which can be done via email or by calling us..
SF-182
The SF-182 is the Request, Authorization, Agreement, and Certification for Training Form, which is used to document instances of completed civilian employee training in the Department of Defense. Once it has been signed off on, we will use this as a valid purchase order.
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
The Tuition Assistance Program is one where the individual organization determines if certification programs are covered or not. If you are seeking to use TAP to pay for your CAPM or PMP certification training course, contact a representative at your nearest education center to see what’s available. Upon finding the vehicle for funding, contact us directly via phone or email and we will work with you to see if your organization qualifies.
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
This program is very similar to the Tuition Assistance Program detailed above. Each state’s workforce office handles these differently, so we recommend contacting us directly so that we may help guide you through the process. Each student will have a caseworker that will serve as a point-of-contact for PMTI for any questions related to billing. Please identify who this is for you when you request an invoice.
GI Bill®
PMTI is unfortunately unable to currently accept students via the GI Bill®; however, we are working dilligently to remedy this situation. Call us directly or check back in the future for updates on using the GI Bill® for PMTI training courses.

How to Get Military PMP Certification?
Understanding the prerequisites for PMP certification is the foundation upon which your journey towards becoming a Project Management Professional (PMP) is built.
The Military PMP Certification is a customized program designed to help military personnel and veterans transition into civilian project management roles. It aligns military experience with project management principles, making veterans natural candidates for PMP certification.
Project management closely mirrors the structured and mission-focused environments of military service. Veterans already possess leadership, organizational, and execution skills that are highly valued in project management roles.
Military tasks often involve planning, execution, and delivery—key components of project management. Roles like mission leaders, logistics officers, and team commanders already apply project management methodologies, just under different terminology.
AFCOOL is an Air Force credentialing program that funds PMP training and exam costs for E-7 and above. E-6 and below can apply for CAPM certification funding. Reach out to your education center for confirmation and assistance.
