Depends....If only the answer was as easy as the question.
ATO and supporting case law says:The course must have a sufficient connection to your current employment, that is, the course:
* maintains or improves the specific skills or knowledge you require in your current employment, or
* results in, or is likely to result in, an increase in your income from your current employment.

You cannot claim a deduction for self-education expenses for a course that does not have a sufficient connection to your current employment even though:
* it might be generally related to it, or
* it enables you to get new employment.

What that means is if you are advancing in your current industry then go for it. If you are retraining for a new career then no. Also check with a qualified tax agent.

Cheers
