CyberTex has several programs that line up well with the strengths and interests of veterans.

How to Use Your Military Education Benefits at CyberTex
Here’s the process to use your military education benefits from start to finish:
Step 1: Choose Your Program
Think about the kind of work you want after training. Do you want something hands-on? Something steady and organized? Something tech-focused? The staff can help you match your goals to the right program. You can take a campus tour, sit in class, or talk to instructors before you enroll.
Step 2: Meet With Admissions
Once you know what program you want, admissions help you fill out basic enrollment forms. Tell them about your service, your branch, and what education benefit you want to use. They work with veterans every day, so they know how to guide you.
Step 3: Send in Your Benefit Documents
Your exact forms depend on your benefit type:
- Post-9/11 GI Bill® may need a Certificate of Eligibility.
- VR&E students usually work with a counselor who sends the school an authorization.
- Tuition Assistance may need approval from your command.
- MyCAA students apply through the MyCAA portal.
CyberTex helps you gather the right documents and sends them to the correct place.
Step 4: Build Your Class Schedule
After your paperwork is in, you pick your start date and class time. Many programs offer morning or afternoon options. This helps you balance work, family, or reserve duties. Every program includes hands-on training, so you build real skills for your new career.
Step 5: Start Training
Your first week sets the tone. Instructors walk you through each topic step-by-step. They use real examples to help you understand your new path. You don’t need past experience. You just need a willingness to learn. Some instructors are also veterans, so they understand your pace, your mindset, and the way you like to learn.

CyberTex offers more than classroom training. Veterans often use these services:
