PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) is proud to
announce a new partnership with the Veterans Administration (VA) to
make its Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) course eligible for
reimbursement through the GI Bill. Effective July 1, 2024, any veteran of the US Military or
eligible family member who qualifies for GI Bill benefits can
enroll in the ISSA CPT program using VA benefits.
"As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand
firsthand the transformative power of education and career
readiness. This partnership with the VA opens new doors for
veterans, allowing them to leverage their discipline and leadership
skills into rewarding careers as personal trainers."
This initiative underscores ISSA's commitment to supporting
military members and their families by providing them with
high-quality education and certification programs that pave the way
for successful careers in the fitness industry.
"At ISSA, we recognize the extraordinary commitment that members
of the military bring to their service, and we are dedicated to
supporting them both during and after their service," said
Rob Findling, ISSA Director of
Inside Sales and Military Specialist. "As a Marine Corps veteran, I
understand firsthand the transformative power of education and
career readiness. This partnership with the VA opens new doors for
veterans, allowing them to leverage their discipline and leadership
skills into rewarding careers as personal trainers."

Advancement Accounts (MYCAA) program offers reimbursement for
eligible military spouses, covering the cost of personal training
