My name is (state full name), and I am a veteran with Chapter 33 benefits. My military ID number is (provide #). I am interested in taking a preparatory course using the benefits associated with 38 U.S.C. § 3315B – Preparatory courses for licensure, certification, or national test. Can you please confirm that I am eligible and have remaining benefits to take the “LACAS-UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYS VOCATION” courses offered by the SSA-approved licenses and certifications institution “Clemson Drone” (facility code 46P00540)? This is a different facility code than Clemson University. The course fee is $3,500. They have asked me to remind you that they are approved as a License and Certification (LACAS) provider and NOT as a Program, OJT, or Institution provider. (If the VA representative looks up Clemson Drone as anything other than a LACAS, it will incorrectly show that the program was "withdrawn" on Jan 26th, 2023.) Clemson Drone's approval can be verified using the LACAS WEAMS system by following the steps outlined at this website: https://www.clemsondrone.com/vaverification.
Step #2: Enroll in the course by clicking here. Select the option “Yes – Eligible for 100% VA reimbursement” in the dropdown field. Click the “Enroll Now” button and enter your payment information. A receipt will be emailed to you immediately, and Dr. Burgett will contact you within 24 hours with additional course information.
Step #3: Complete the course over eight weeks. Clemson Drone will provide you with an enrollment verification letter (sample).
Step #4: Complete VA Form 22-10272 (course) and VA Form 22-0803 (exam) for reimbursement. Some of the fields have been completed for you. Mail the completed VA forms and the course completion letter received by Clemson Drone to the VA. The address is provided on the last page of the VA form.
