the most fiscally responsible option

pretty sure you can use it for any kind of learning or training... in Hawaii had numerous people use it for SCUBA instructor level certs plus buying gear. would assume that also means you can use it for any kind of costly cert

I’m curious too. I know trade schools are an option, are you trying to do something completely out of the ordinary?

Could use it to get your private pilots license, but I think there were stipulations and some limits on the type of school you had to use

There’s aeronautical programs where you earn a degree and your license simultaneously and it’s covered plus you get BAH. Rather than a private pilot training program where it’ll only cover a percentage and you don’t get BAH.

Anything outside of scuba or pilots license?

I used it for my PMP. Not very creative, but it did save me $550 on the exam. They’ll also pay if you fail the test so it lowered my stress about the whole thing.

I got GMAT and GRE tests reimbursed. Wound up not going to school, but they paid the test fees anyway

Hi,
Can anyone suggest what should I do ? I am joining Citi next week and the team I’m assigned I heard has very hectic schedule and strict 3 days wfo and today I got a selection email from another company who are offering permanent WFH , due to certain internal approvals , the offer could be shared only next Wednesday, As I’m more inclined towards the latter. Is it possible to get early termination once my new offer comes through or I have to serve 3 months NP?
