The Veteran is granted reimbursement for the cost of Texas journeyman electrician certification tests taken on November 7, 2012 and March 29, 2013. The claim for reimbursement for costs related to an examination preparatory course that was taken on September 8, 2012 is denied.
The deciding factor: The Texas journeyman electrician certification tests are deemed approved by VA as required under Federal, State or local law and regulation for employment in a predetermined profession. The preparatory course is not considered part of an educational program.
