Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL)

COOL is a product for Navy and Army Service members that defines civilian credentials which best map to ratings, jobs, designators, and collateral duties/assignments. It outlines the path, work, training and experience required to achieve them.

COOL provides "how to" instructions for pursuing credentials, links to credentialing organizations, and cross-references to programs that may help Service members pay for credentialing fees, such as Montgomery GI Bill, and the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES). Links to helpful Web sites are also available.

Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs (Department of Education)

The Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs is compiled entirely from publicly available information reported to the U.S. Department of Education by recognized accrediting agencies and state approval agencies that have been asked to provide information for each institution and/or program accredited by that agency. This reported information is not audited. The database is updated to reflect additional information as it is received from recognized accrediting agencies and state approval agencies but the Department makes no guarantee that the database will be updated immediately upon receipt of such information. The U.S. Department of Education cannot, therefore, guarantee that the information contained in the database is accurate, current, or complete.

Go to the DoE Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs at http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/.
