Identify who pays and when
Ask whether the employer pays the provider directly, reimburses you after completion or deducts a cost over time. Find out who pays if you do not complete the course.
Read service and repayment terms
Check any minimum employment commitment, repayment amount, declining balance and exceptions. Keep the training agreement alongside the job offer.
Confirm the employment arrangement
Ask about starting pay, work location, required travel, schedule and when employment begins. A training place is not always a guaranteed position.
Check whether the credential travels with you
Find out whether the award or certification is recognized beyond that employer and whether you receive your own record of completed training.
