I said I've never worked anywhere that offered that. Then you guys said you are offered that. How does that change my position?

1- I thought your boss was buying ECSA training.
2- I offered to give you training material for it and even do a phone call to help you go over it

He did offer it. I asked him about it 4 times and each time he said "I'm considering options" which means that its likely not going to happen. My impression of the situation is that he offered something without knowing the cost and now doesn't want to honor what he said. You're remembering correctly though

@IRJ I just checked my e-mail. You sent me that stuff Dec 14th, 2016 to give you an idea of how long it's been.

It's not a yes until they hand me the CC. I've been told to wait many times for training. I bring it up every few months and don't give up till I have a CC in hand.

That is exactly what I have been doing. My opinion is it's just not going to happen.

@IRJ and btw I completely appreciated and still do appreciate your offer. I'm currently reading 2.5-3k pages worth of content but I do intend on reading it even if my boss doesn't honor his word.

Are you being consistent or asking for different training?
Also you have to know how to ask. "what can I do to strengthen my skills and stay current in my field?"
Ask your boss that question

lol dude. my boss knows way less than i do. as far as hes concerned I know everything there is to know, which we all know is complete horse shit. I can ask him, but he sees me reading books constantly. I'm sure he's going to say keep reading

But you have nothing to show for it on your resume. I flat out told companies I need proof of my training whether it's a cert or just a completion certificate for cpes

Problem is, that's not education to grow you at your job. That's eduction for your next job. It's not career growth, it is career change. That's going to not going over well.

You can't take no for an answer. Even if you have personal reasons, There's a million business reasons why training is worth its weight in gold

I'm not asking him to pay for an RHCE though. I'm doing that myself.

Let me tell you something I've learned through experience. Confidence, clear direction, a little arrogance, and a just a pinch of bullshit will get you way farther than being a yes man.

I am in no way a yes man. I fight them on practically everything.

This advice stands no matter where you go. Learning how to market yourself is a skill you must master.
