Education

Provided you meet the eligible student requirements listed in Instructions for Form 8863 p2, you have an eligible institution with eligible expenses.

 

I am going to assume that this is work related and would qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit but not the AOTC. In Qualified Education Expenses - Internal Revenue Service:

For AOTC, you must pay the expenses for higher education that result in a degree or other recognized education credential. For the Lifetime Learning Credit, you can qualify if you take the course to acquire or improve your job skills.
