For the education credits, the school, college or university must participate in a student aid program administered by the US Department of Education and then it would be considered an eligible education institution for the purpose of the education credits.

The eligible school will most likely send you Form 1098-T Tuition so you could enter it TurboTax. See How do I enter Form 1098-T?

If you aren’t sure if your school is an eligible educational institution:

Ask your school if it is an eligible educational institution, or
See if your school is on the U.S. Federal Student Aid Code List.

Note: Expenses to learn a new trade or job or to qualify for a new career aren't deductible as an unreimbursed job expense.

If you are asking if you could deduct it as an unremibursed education/job expense related to your job, the answer is no. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), unreimbursed job expenses and other miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2% rule have been suspended (eliminated) through tax year 2025.
