SPC Private RallyPoint Member 6566790 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don&#39;t really want to do online college at the moment however I would enjoy being able to do welding work or hands-on trade schooling in my off time. Has anyone done this before and gotten TA for it? All the resources I can find have to do with credentials and online college, nothing to do with actually going to something like a shop and doing SMAW/GMAW welding or Machining at a trade school in my off time. <br />(Already called on-post education center, by the way, I&#39;m just curious if anyone has any experience doing this kinda thing.) 2020-12-09T19:16:42-05:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 6566790

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If it doesn&#39;t result in a cert or degree or isn&#39;t a prerequisite for some type of program, TA/CA isn&#39;t going to pay for it. TA is meant to fund education leading to a degree or certification. If it doesn&#39;t lead to a degree or certification it falls outside the parameters of the federal funding

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes it can be but it depends on the course and certification you are attempting.
