Veterans Benefits
From service with the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard, the path for veterans looking for a new career begins with training in one of the many certificate programs approved for VA education benefits at TEEX. Programs do not require a college degree. Instructors with real-world experience provide the hands-on training.
Veteran participants need to contact the TEEX Veteran Services Office at [email protected] or call 1-979-393-0197 before enrolling in VA benefits-eligible TEEX training courses.
