It's been my experience that most employers don't give you "work time" to study unless it's something they require in a very tight schedule, which I have seen happen before. For example I knew a guy who the employer wanted to get the Exchange certification done in less than a month, and they gave him work time to do this. Usually it's all off the clock.
OK, I'm curious, what certification is it that you anticipate spending 1400 hours of study time for?

I'm curious for those whose company requires them to get certifications, if the company also gives them time to study at work. One of the partners where I work wants me to get a new certification that's probably 1,000-1,400 hours of study time. Is it too much to ask for an hour a day of study time at work or no? Thanks in advance for any insight.
