Going on 7 years at my place and still haven't been given any training opportunities, despite requesting it year after year. Half a decade later and I'm still feeling bitter about a former manager being hired on, sent to an expensive training while still within his probationary period, and then quitting a month later. Yes, I probably need to  .

Technically I can be reimbursed for all certificate training and college courses as long as they relate to my job vaguely. There is no dollar limit officially so my training budget is in theory over a billion dollars OP Edit: Lmao I swear to god I thought this was GBS for some reason. Though my answer is still accurate, imagine it with less GBS snark 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Mar 23, 2017 |

Like $3500 for whatever, with approvals for above that if I can justify it. Works for me; and I normally use it up.

None, they reimburse certs though.

5K for education reimbursement, they will also send me to classes for stuff related to what I'm currently doing, unsure if that eats into my reimbursement or not. They've sent me to ITIL foundations for the cert and are going to send me to a fortiOS class as well since I'm one of 3 people that can understand what a /24 is

Some mystery amount available to the team, plus a relatively robust in-house training program with a pretty big selection of classes, though the classes basically happen whenever they happen. They even run a Red Hat Certified Architect cohort every few years. Also cert reimbursement.

I don't have a specific number but I can get training if it's justified.

I'll send my team on any reasonable training, probably up to $5k per year or so. They have to ask to go though.

At my last FTE job I had $2.5k/year training and/or conference budget. I had to ask for approval but was never denied, even when I spent it on non-engineering but still business-related things.

I left my last job due to no training budget, I'm self employed now.

My org has a training budget that's constantly raided to pay for other things. Project managers know this so they budget for training inside their projects no matter how big or small. Its really stupid, but works. Something simple like moving SCCM from server 2008 to 2012 got me training on the latest version of SCCM. The training was only slightly useful, but being able to talk to 15 strangers and a teacher (SCCM consultant) about how they manage their SCCM environment was valuable.

I just kind of expense whatever training I do on my own credit card and it gets approved within a few weeks. I don't take advantage of this nearly as often as I think I ought to. I don't know what our global training budget for the company is but it's big enough that something on the order of 20 people (myself included) are going to Cisco Live in June all expenses paid by the company.

If I ask, then ask again, sometimes my boss will spend up to $48 on a certification training book or something. I work for a K-12 public school district so I guess this is better than nothing.

$4k per year for non-required training, conferences, courses, whatever. I'm using this for black hat and defcon this year. Another guy used his for a CCIE bootcamp. $5k per year for higher education from an accredited program. Doesn't overlap with the training budget above. $Texas for certifications, including whatever self study materials. We're allowed to fail twice, and any training for certifications that are required by partners is covered.

We can use 2% of base salary per year for training, conferences, etc. I have yet to use mine, I really should though.

Used to get sent on a couple of courses per year, then I moved to another site in the same company where the budget is a bit tighter and training has been deemed 'non-essential' Currently half way through resolving that and will be back on courses sooner or later. But I don't have a training budget as such

Usually my boss asks for something and I go away and figure out how to do that thing. No budget or anything.

And then I do the thing and they ask "Why did you do the thing that way instead of this other proprietary way that I read about on Stack Exchange after 30 seconds of Googling and don't understand one word of but it has a neat name and the guy promoting it seems cool?"

I don't have a set budget but if I want a cert and the it'll benefit the business, they'll pay for the training and exam costs. I can't get courses paid but CBT stuff is fine. They're funding my CCIE so I am very happy with that as it costs £££ just to do the exam

My entire budget is a training budget. I'm a trainer Seriously though, I can get money to go to training under the guise of developing training skills. Assuming I ever have time for that, which I don't.

Like $600/ea pretty much no questions asked from central corporate and then individual departments have discretion to put their own funds up as well. Never had a problem getting something in the 2k+ range for a big conference or certification program, but it has to go through approvals.

My old job did not. My new job (fingers crossed), 1000€/person/yr. On top of the trainings they organize for everyone.
