Unfortunately, you must be employed to deduct an employee business expense such as a license and continuing education
To be deductible, your expenses must be for education that either maintains or improves your job skills, or is required by your employer or by law to keep your salary, status or job.
Expenses to learn a new trade or job or to qualify for a new career aren't deductible.
