Expenses to learn a new trade or job or to qualify for a new career aren't
deductible.
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.
However, if it is a requirement of your educational curriculum, it is deductible along with your other educational expenses.
