In 2001, Congress approved changes to the GI Bill that allowed eligible veterans to be reimbursed by the Department of Veterans Affairs for taking approved certification and licensure examinations.  We are happy to announce that, as of March 15, 2007, NBC-CAM and the Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) program were accepted as an approved certification program.  

What does this mean for our candidates? Candidates who are veterans eligible for GI Bill benefits can apply to be fully reimbursed for the CMCA examination cost.  Candidates can be reimbursed for either the paper and pencil or computer-based exams and reimbursement is provided whether they pass or fail the CMCA examination.  The CMCA is a nation-wide certification that demonstrates competency in the field of community association management.

To find out more about how to apply for reimbursement you can visit the GI Bill web site at:  www.gibill.va.gov  or you can contact Ann-Marie Johnson in the NBC-CAM office at amjohnson@caionline.org for additional information.
