It takes an average of FIVE TO EIGHT WEEKS for the VA to process enrollment certifications. Make sure that you register for your courses and sumbit your Enrollment Certification Request on a timely manner to ensure prompt certification of your enrollment. Remember to register in courses according to your educational plan.
