Air Force Credentialing Opportunities

The Air Force Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (AF COOL) program assists airmen with identifying job-specific (based on Air Force Specialty Code) credentials for which tuition assistance funding is available.

You can find more information on the Air Force COOL website

Industry-recognized credentials are a great way for airmen to bolster their Air Force careers and prepare for their eventual transition to civilian employment as they retire or separate from the Air Force.

Available Exams

Many of the following Air Force COOL-eligible Pearson VUE exams are available through Rio Salado College Testing at the Rio Salado College Tempe, Rio Salado College Luke AFB, Communiversity @ Queen Creek, and Rio Salado Surprise Testing Centers.
