    Money paid for these classes do not count as qualified education expenses for the education credits.

     

    The cost cannot be claimed on your personal tax return.

     

    If you have a business, they can be deducted as a business expense if the courses contribute to maintain or improve your skills in your current business.

    Even if the classes are for me to get certified?

    Correct.  A course for a certification is not eligible for education credits.  You have to be seeking a degree in order for it to apply for a credit.
