the problem is that i was perusing the "hope credit" and the "life-time"
credit and they both indicate that you have to be enrolled in a
sactioned/accredited institution "one that offers financial aid" and
what-not.............so that might not be the right route. it sounds like
the business-expense form might be the right way to do
it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but i'm not sure.

Yes,
to a certain extent..Not sure of the form but this is considered continuing
education. Lifetime learning credit is likely what this category will fall
under. You wont get to take the hope credit for this.
