Patrice, You actually get your employer to send you to training?? Lucky you..
If you consider the amount of training that Oracle offers when a new release of the database occurs I would think that you can get a solid idea of the training needed to be "up-to-date". Add into that the OCP training and there is another week or two. Also consider the 11i upgrades and training. For your personal deductions I think that you should be able to deduct what you actually spend up to the allowable limit. Not being self employed, I can't write it off. The state I live in doesn't allow it yet but there is a push to allow up to $1500.00 US for educational purposes.
