NLEI offers veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces the opportunity to obtain training, certification, and support services for job placement on their way to a well-paying career.
NLEI training programs – including the Medical Assistant, Medical Office Specialist and Business Development programs — are approved by the Illinois State Approving Agency for eligible veterans to receive Montgomery GI Bill education benefits.
The Montgomery GI Bill program, sometimes known as Chapter 30, provides education benefits to Veterans and Service members who have at least two years of active duty.
The amount of assistance varies depending on the GI Bill program you are utilizing. Benefits are generally payable for 10 years following release from honorable active service.
To learn more about eligibility under the Montgomery GI Bill, visit http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Information Sessions are held at NLEI on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m.
