Who here has used the Vac Vocational services through the Rehabilitation program to go back to school or upgrade? How was the process and what did you end up taking?
Thank you.
Thank you.

A friend of mine went through the same program and just graduated with a business degree.
My experience with upgrading was that I would pay for the classes and would be reimbursed once I submitted the receipt. Pass, fail, retake the same class, or drop out, I would be reimbursed.
I was notified that I would get somewhere in the range of $25K for university, once that was used up I would just go to my case manager and ask for the rest of the money. He said that if I was still in my first year of school and already went through $25K i would be denied, but if I was on the home stretch, end of 3rd year or in 4th year, I would automatically be approved.
Teager said:jtdollah did you have to do an assessment before beginning your classes? If so what did they have you do for it?
jtdollah said:The only assessment was with my school to see where I had to start upgrading. It was similar to the CF's aptitude test, English and math related questions. I was 26 at the time, about 9 years out of high school, so naturally I bombed it and had to begin upgrading from the grade 10 level.
