Post 9/11 GI Bill for OSCP

Does anyone know if you can apply GI Bill funds to the Offensive Security PWB (PenTesting with Backtrack) online course? I spoke with the reps at my education office, but they are about as useful as a yoyo on a stick. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think that I found the answer to this. Apparently GI Bill funds can only be applied to US educational institutions. This means GI bill cannot be used for OSCP or eCPPT.

not unless OffSec goes through the process, a few training companies (Training Camp, CED Solutions, Security University)are accredited to receive GI Bill funds, but it is something that has to be done by the organization.

My brother draws from that fund and he is always complaining how rigid they are about where he is allowed to apply the money. They will only give him the funds if he's enrolled in a college full-time taking classes that are all related to his chosen major. That's how I understand it, anyway.

I feel your pain; my brother has horror stories of dealing with those people, too.

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

I do know that UMBC: Training Centers and Secure Ninja/Insyte are capable of accepting the GI Bill...
