  11. PROCESS for CREDENTIALS 1. Identification of certifications relevant to military occupational specialties. A crosswalk requires coordination between the Coast Guard and the Defense Manpower Data Center, Contract Support, the Navy’s Credentialing Opportunities Online Staff and the Department of Labor. 2. Comparability analysis identifies gaps between military education, training, and experience and civilian credentialing requirements. TheU.S. Military Apprenticeship Program (hours) and National Maritime Center training assessment branch (sea time) are examples of potential gaps. 3. Service members address knowledge, education, or experience gaps, taking advantage of resources available to them while in the service. This includes educational resources that are offered to military service members, such as tuition assistance and the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB). NDAA 2015 may provide a new funding string.

  12. 4. Service members complete required exams. Completion of exams is facilitated by the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) agreements with selected civilian credentialing agencies that allow exams to be given by military officials at or near military bases. 5. Service members provide documentation to credentialing agency. The services offer a variety of methods of documenting military training and experience, including the Sailor and Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcripts (SMARTS), course completion certificates and Coast Guard Institute transcripts. 6. Service members obtain credential, certification or license.
