Deductions & credits

Yes.

How you deduct them depends on when the expenses occurred.

 

One your business is up and running (you have income or are actively seeking income), you deduct the expenses, directly. Enter as "other expenses" and identify it as education or training.

 

Costs occurred prior to "being in business" are "start up costs" and must be depreciated (amortized) over 15 years. See https://www.bizfilings.com/toolkit/research-topics/managing-your-taxes/federal-taxes/startup-costs-a...
