[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

It is considered a business expense of your self-employment business.  It should be listed under "Other Common Business Expenses" and then go to the bottom and list it as Other Misc. Expense.

"Your work-related educational expenses must be for education that:

• maintains or improves your job skills; OR
• is required by your employer or by law to keep your salary, status or job.

The education cannot

•  be part of a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business; or 
•  be needed to meet the minimal educational requirements of your trade or business."
