Veteran Training
At this time, VDCI courses are not yet VA-approved. However, we are actively pursuing approval so that future VDCI programs will be eligible for VA education benefits. In the meantime, eligible students may enroll in approved programs through our affiliate, Noble Desktop. When using the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33), you may also qualify for housing benefits. Please contact the VA directly to confirm your eligibility and benefit status.
The programs listed on the Noble Desktop Veterans' page are currently approved for veterans and other eligible individuals using the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33), the Veteran Readiness and Employment Program (Chapter 31), and the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 35) through Noble Desktop.
