The ASTM NCATT AET certification examination is open to all individuals regardless of career field, training, education or experience.

VetTEC® assists active duty and transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans interested in translating their technical skills from military occupational specialties into civilian jobs by gaining industry-recognized SpaceTEC®, CertTEC®, and ASTM NCATT credentials desired in the fields of aviation, aerospace, and technology.[ap_toggle title=”More” status=”close”]

According to the Department of Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (DON COOL) website, “Credentialing is becoming ever more important in the military context, adding value for the Marine and Sailor while they serve and as they transition to civilian life. DON COOL reflects the Department of the Navy’s ongoing commitment to Marines and Sailors in providing world class training, experience, and opportunities that will serve them well on active duty and as future Veterans pursuing civilian careers.”  The Departments of Army and Air Force also have established COOL websites identifying civilian credentials and licensing that may correlate to military training.

SpaceTEC Partners, Inc. (SPI), operating as a National Science Foundation Center of Excellence since 2002, created the nation’s only third-party performance-based technical certifications for aerospace technicians.  CertTEC®, a division of SPI, worked with leading aviation companies and technology centers to create performance-based certifications assessing relevant skills and competencies desired in prospective employees.   As each certification is reviewed and job announcements searched with qualifications, skills and experience required/preferred by potential employers, it becomes apparent how a professional certification can expertly translate military experience to a civilian recruiter.

The COOL websites should be used as a guide.  If a rating is not found that matches a certification, SpaceTEC®/CertTEC® should be contacted at (321) 567-5193 or information@spacetec.org to discuss eligibility.[/ap_toggle]

SpaceTEC® Certifications FAA-Recognized and ICAC Accredited

SpaceTEC® provides the only FAA-recognized national performance-based certifications available for aerospace technicians in the United States today.  The credentials include the Certified Aerospace Technician® Core and four additional concentrations in Vehicle Processing, Composites, Aerospace Manufacturing, and Structures and Assembly.

CertTEC® Certifications ICAC Accredited 

CertTEC® certifications, accredited by the International Certification Accreditation Council (ICAC), are performance-based exams that validate critical technical skills desired by high-technology companies.  The credentials include Basic Electricity and Electronics (BEE), Aviation Structures Technician, Aviation Mechanical Assembly Technician and Basic Composites.

ASTM NCATT Certifications

SpaceTEC Partners, Inc administers all ASTM NCATT written exams.  ASTM NCATT exams are offered through Credential Testing Services (CTS), a division of SpaceTEC Partners, Inc.  The credentials include Aircraft Electronics Technician (AET) and the associated endorsements, Autonomous Navigation Systems (ANS), Dependent Navigation Systems (DNS), Onboard Communications and Safety Systems(OCS), and Radio Communication Systems (RCS).  Other credentials offered include Foreign Object Elimination (FOE), Aerospace Aircraft Assembly (AAA), and Unmanned Aircraft System Maintenance (UAS).

VA and COOL Approved 

SpaceTEC® and CertTEC® Certifications, developed with industry partners, are approved for reimbursement by the VA Montgomery and Post 9/11 GI Bills and are listed on the VA’s WEAMS (web enabled approval management system) License and Certification webpage.  These credentials are also included on the Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force Credentialing Opportunities On-line (COOL) websites.

Where would I test?

Our staff will make arrangements with your closest location. The written portion of some of the certifications can be taken anywhere there is a proctor available (except Basic Electricity and Electronics), such as in public libraries and military installations; the oral and practical exams are available at limited locations.  Please contact the staff for more information.

Explore VA GI Bill Benefits for Credentialing and Licensing

Having a certification can open doors for you in today’s workplace; if you’re eligible, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can reimburse you for taking a license or certification exam. SpaceTEC® and CertTEC® certifications are recognized by each service branches’ credentialing online COOL program and VA so that individuals may receive reimbursement for certification fees.

Through the VA, you may receive reimbursement for approved certification exams if you qualify for at least one of the following:

  • Post-9/11 GI Bill (911-GIB)
  • Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty (MGIB-AD)
  • Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserves (MGIB-SR) (Public Law 109-163 enacted January 6, 2006)
  • Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP)
  • Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA)

You may be eligible for more than one GI Bill program.  It is important to determine which GI Bill best suits your educational/certification needs.

You can receive up to $2,000 per exam but not more than the VA approved cost of the exam. You may receive benefits to retake an exam you didn’t pass. You may receive benefits to retake an exam you passed if the exam is required for recertification or to allow you to retain a license you already have.  Learn more about GI Bill benefits for Certification here.

To apply for exam reimbursement, send the VA a signed and dated request with the following information:

  • VA-Form 22-0803
  • A copy of your test results or a copy of your license or certification

 Have you applied for VA benefits before? If no, please complete the Application for Education Benefits and send it to VA with this request for reimbursement.
