Active duty service-members, veterans, and their qualified de-pendents may be eligible for VA education benefits authorized under specific chapters of Title 38 of the U.S. Code. Only the De-partment of Veterans Affairs can determine student eligibility for benefits. New Horizons cannot determine eligibility, but can as-sist in the submission of applications and supporting documents through our School Certifying Official, Kaylee Fortney. The prima-ry function of this office is to certify and report enrollment infor-mation to the VA. New Horizons works on the delayed payment policy and is intended for individuals who are entitled to educa-tional benefits under Chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or Chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. Please see the ‘Next Steps for Qualifying Individuals’ below for the next steps on using these benefits.
Next Steps for Qualifying Individuals: Make an appointment with the School Certifying Official, Kaylee Fortney by phone or email (below) and come to the meeting with a valid, government issued ID, any and all unofficial tran-scripts from any previous post-secondary intuition, and form VA 22-1999 (Certificate of Eligibility) or VAF 28-1905 (Statement of Benefits) two weeks before the registration deadline date of classes:
After you have made an appointment with the School Certifying Official and have filled out a registration form for the school and submitted your Certificate of Eligibility and transcripts, you will be certified with the VA. This must be done no later than the start date of class. Any non-Chapter 33 student will be required to pay for the class in full at that time. The VA handles all benefits in terms of reimbursements. We
do not accept payment plans. If you drop from the program you are required to inform the
School Certifying Official. Each certification you take requires re-admittance through
the School Certifying Official that you are a qualifying indi-vidual.
Students who are not deemed 100% eligible for any tuition and fees are required to pay the remainder of their bill.
New Horizons does not penalize students in any way due to a student having delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
Any covered individual who has provided New Horizons with proper documentation (VA 22-1999 or VAF 28-1905 and any
unofficial transcripts from previous post-secondary intuitions) is permitted to participate in their chosen program starting from the date the documentation has been submitted (see above chart for deadlines) until the earlier of either the date the VA makes a payment to New Horizons or 90 days after New Horizons certifies tuition and fees following the receipt of the certificate of eligibility.
New Horizons maintains a written record of the previous education and training of the veteran or eligible person and clearly indicates that appropriate credit has been given for previous education and training, with the training period shortened proportionately, and the veteran or eligible person and the Department of Veterans Affairs so notified. Credit is applied to students who have successfully completed any NCCER curricula at an NCCER accredited training intuition. To check the status of an intuition's credentials or view a students record, visit https://registry.nccer.org/OnlineVerification/VerifyCardNumber
New Horizons grievance policy: Please direct any grievance about the school to the SCO or Director by phone at 757-766-1101 or email at [email protected]. The Virginia State Approving Agency (SAA), is the approving authority of education and training programs for Virginia. Their office investigates complaint of GI Bill beneficiaries. While most complaints should initially follow the school grievance policy, if the situation cannot be resolved at the school, the beneficiary should contact their office via email [email protected].
REFUND POLICY: Refunds will be allowed for on-site classes if written application and receipt are received prior to the 7th CALENDAR DAY following the beginning of class. In the event a class must be canceled, full refunds will be made as soon as possible. Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing.

Greetings Apprentices, Students, and Sponsors: Whether you are seeking a new career, updating or enhancing your technical skills, or just wanting to take a course for personal enjoyment we can meet your training need. New Horizons’ Center for Apprenticeship and Adult Training has offered quality technical training for over (50) forty years. We currently have over 60 career-enhancing training programs and courses . Business and industry have designed our curricula to assure you develop the skills needed for the job demand in Virginia. Our faculty are experienced professionals dedicated to providing you with challenging real world learning experiences. Our apprenticeship programs provide training for occupations commonly known as skilled crafts or trades. These crafts or trades require a wide and diverse range of skills and knowledge. As an apprentice, you would enter into an agreement with a sponsoring company where you would receive on-the-job training in a full-time position. You would also attend a minimum of two nights per week for classroom instruction related to your trade. Most apprenticeship programs are three to five years as required by the Department of Labor. Upon completion, you would attain the status of Journeyman and be awarded a certificate of completion from the Commonwealth of Virginia in cooperation with the Virginia Apprenticeship Council. You can also enroll in courses for technical training and health sciences. The technical courses include the areas of air conditioning to welding, as well as training in bookkeeping, culinary arts, photography, and more. Our health sciences training can prepare you for many of today’s “hot” jobs: medical assistant, medical billing and coding, nursing assistant, veterinary assistant, pharmacy technician. Most courses are one semester, with advanced courses offered in many areas the following semester. We currently have over 80 students enrolled in our online Apprenticeship courses covering Electrical, HVAC and Plumbing at the National Center for Construction, Education and Research, (NCCER) level of Training. We also have Cosmetology, Barbering and Nail Technician. For more information, please contact us at 757-766-1101 or visit our website: www.nhrec.org/cfaat. We are dedicated to providing you with the best training services possible. The Center for Apprenticeship and Adult Training and its instructors are ready to address your training needs. Thank you for entrusting New Horizons with your future. Sincerely, Edward Eure Program Director, Center for Apprenticeship and Adult Training at New Horizons

Registered Apprentices are paid according to a pro-gressive wage scale determined by the employer, but must be paid at least Federal Minimum Wage. Most Registered Apprentices earn above minimum wage when they start and they receive incremental wage increases throughout their apprenticeship. Once an apprentice completes their program and earns journeyworker status, salaries vary by employer, industry and market factors. However, some indus-tries provide salaries of $50,000 or higher.

Cyber Security: CHFI CHFI is by far the most in-demand creden-tial in computer forensics investigation. Computer forensics investigation consists of compiling and analyzing cybercrime evidence for prosecution. As value in infor-mation security continues to rise, business-es strive to defend cyberattacks and safe-guard intellectual property (IP). As a CHFI, you will be armed with the skills to uncover and examine the complexities of digital evidence. This evidence is critical for being able to charge criminals with computer crimes, from theft of IP to fraud. Earning this credential will establish that you have the skills to find how intruders infiltrate sys-tems, as well as the ability to gather evi-dence necessary to prosecute offenders. To prepare for CHFI certification, CFAAT offers an online course ensemble that of-fers you access to an education that co-vers the top tools of forensics. Upon com-pletion of the course, on your own, you will then take the EC0 312-49 exam, where you will need to score 70 percent or bet-ter. Our Ensemble Course Covers: 1.

Computer Numerical Controls I (CNC A&B)
The ‘A’ portion of this course provides a compre-hensive introduction to computer numerical control (CNC), which uses numerical data to control a machine. CNC machines rely on a sys-tem of three linear and three rotational axes in order to calculate the motion and position of machine components and workpieces. A ma-chine control unit controls and guides the move-ments of the machine tool. This class also de-scribes PTP positioning, which moves to the end position before the tool begins to cut, and con-tinuous path systems that can move a tool alongtwo or more axes at once and cut during the movement. The ‘B’ portion of this introductory course presents the practical basics for learning how to use the latest CNC equipment. You will gain a firm understanding of the basics required to become proficient with this sophisticated and popular form of manufacturing equipment. $795
Auto Cad "Introduction to CAD and CAM for Machining" pro-vides a foundational overview of CAD and CAM systems and how they are used in CNC machining operations. While CAD greatly streamlines the pro-cess of part design, CAM ensures successful produc-tion by converting the part design into precise ma-chine movements. This class describes CAD design methods, including the different types of part draw-ings and modeling, and the CAM data conversion process, including how toolpaths and movements are plotted based on design data. Without CAD and CAM, most modern CNC machining would not be possible. They are the first step in CNC part crea-tion, and their correct execution is necessary for a successful part creation process. Understanding how CAD and CAM are used in the CNC process is an essential building block to understanding how successful cutting operations are carried out on CNC machines.
$795
Blueprint Reading I The class “Blueprint Reading” provides a thorough understanding of blueprints and how to read them. Blueprints are documents that contain three major elements: the drawing, dimensions, and notes. The drawing illustrates the views of the part necessary to show its features. Together, the extension and di-mension lines on the drawing indicate dimensions and specific tolerance information of each feature. The notes contain administrative and global infor-mation about the part. A blueprint contains all in-structions and requirements necessary to manufac-ture and inspect a part. An understanding of how to read a blueprint is critical to manufacture and in-spect parts to accurate specifications. Accurate blueprint creation helps to ensure that finished parts will function in a way that meets the original intent. After taking this class, users should be able to read a basic blueprint and determine the critical features on a part that need to be measured. $795
Computer Numerical Controls II (CNC A&B)
The ’A’ portion of this course covers the skills necessary for CNC milling-related job roles with-in the NIMS Level 1 Machining standard. This course introduces offsets on the CNC mill, as well as homing the machine after a full shut down. The ‘B’ portion of this course covers the skills necessary for CNC turning-related job roles within the NIMS Level 1 Machining standard. This course introduces the components and func-tions of the CNC lathe, as well as its offsets.
