CSIA Policies and Bylaws

If you are a U.S. veteran with benefits, you will need to pay a deposit to secure your spot covering meals, the CVE manual, and exam fees. If eligible, the class itself is covered by the G.I. Bill, which you can apply by entering the promo code GIVeteran at registration. Meals must be added separately from class registration as they are not reimbursable by the VA, while books and the exam fee may qualify for reimbursement using VA form 22-0803.
