Can I claim mileage for training on the job?

If my job didn't pay for mileage used to train on the job in another city can I claim this mileage?

Yes, the mileage used within the scope of employment, and not just commuting to and from your workplace, can be claimed. Look below for a more detailed description of the criteria needed to claim mileage.
