Firstly, we would advise you to have a look at our online “Eviden University” to see if the subject is covered there. You might even find courses with externally recognized certifications which relate to the desired topic free of charge.
Otherwise, you can take a look with your supervisor and once approved, you can get it reimbursed through the Eviden expenses tool.
