Question

Mandatory training for certification...deductible?

My wife took a few training classes this past year to maintain her certification.  My understanding is the training IS deductible but the fee to submit her certification IS NOT.  Is this correct?

Both of them sound like work related expenses to me.  Check out the IRS page on this, linked below.  I don't see anything that would exclude a submission fee when that is required for her work.  Even if it was helpful.

Gotta add that most people do not benefit from work related expenses anyway, unless they are over 2% of your joint AGI and you itemize.
