I agree with proforce99-it is an investment in their career. Many, if not most professions require periodic training to keep up with changes in their field.This is a requirement for their chosen profession.Doctors,teachers,financial consultants-the list goes on.If the tech is serious about his career,and it is not "just a job", I would think that a couple of hours now & then at a computer would be a worthwhile investment for them.How many worthwhile careers are there that do not require any kind of continuing education ? Live training is a different story.Pay for time,travel,meals,etc should be equal to what they could be earning if on the job,plus a little extra for the "inconvenience" involved.
