Good Morning,
Recently, a handful of team members have signed up to take professional development courses relevant to their jobs, that are credit type courses and then drop the class half-way through or at the very end They are facilitated by in-house trainers, however there is a cost associated for the materials and to receive the credits. We have a tuition reimbursement policy that addresses "payback" if the team member leaves, doesn't receive a C or better, etc. We do not have anything in writing that speaks to these credit or certification courses that are offered in-house. Does anyone have a policy/form that would speak to this? I am working on putting something together that would be signed by the team member once registering for this type of class to make them aware that if they miss more than 2 sessions during a 10 or 16 week class, receive an incomplete or leave the company - they would be responsible for reimbursing the organization for the cost of the materials and certification. Any samples you could send along would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi OTG -- is there a reason your company cannot apply the same reimbursement policy to these in-house courses? What I would suggest is that the employee pay for his/her prof. development up front and get reimbursed upon successful completion (which is how most companies reimburse for college courses).

I have a free professional qualifications policy document on my website. The link for this training resource is here.

This should help or can be amended to help I'm sure.
