Credentialing for CAREER ADVANCEMENT

It is important while serving in the Air Force, and for a smooth transition into civilian employment once a military career has ended. Credentials, which come with a certificate, license or certification, combine military training and experience into opportunities that improve Air Force readiness, enhance career advancement, and provide Airmen with skills that translate into civilian occupations.
