Can I use the GI Bill to pay for F5 training?

It is our understanding that GI Bill benefits would cover tuition, but for-profit vendor training is not eligible.  Although we can’t be paid directly by the government for the training, it may be possible for you to get a lump sum payment to use towards non-degree programs.  Refer to the section on Accelerated Payments for High Technology Programs on this VA webpage: https://www.va.gov/education/about-gi-bill-benefits/how-to-use-benefits/
 
We do offer some free self-directed training, the F5 Getting Started series, on the Education Services Portal (ESP). 

In addition to our F5 Getting Started series, we also recommend these other free online resources to supplement your other training and hands-on experience:

• MyF5 includes printable General Solution documents, Release Notes, Known Issues articles, Security Advisories, Best Practices, and Manuals. https://my.f5.com
• Our DevCentral site has forums, wikis, blogs, and videos on a wide range of topics. https://devcentral.f5.com/

 
For students new to F5, we recommend our free F5 Getting Started series to introduce our different products.  For premium, paid training, the recommended first class is Administering BIG-IP, which is available as both self-directed and instructor-led training.
