No doubts there. My co paid for mine 100% without batting an eye OR
making me sign a committment to employment with them. (Well, my COO DID
threaten my life if I left the company, I am still clinging to the hope
that he was either kidding OR being figurative.) =-)
However, they also came up with a good chunk more money and a promotion so
I am sticking around for a while.
They paid for 2 trips to RTP and the labs plus a 2 days to the IUPUI
practice lab in Indy.
And..because of our COO, I knew in advance what to expect from my company
once I passed. It's a good thing.
If my company took the stance that "That's YOUR certification...we're not
paying for THAT". I would already be gone. =-)
