Hi @Peanutbanana101,
Thank you for your reply. As advised The website advises - Self-education expenses are deductible when the course you undertake leads to a formal qualification and meets the following conditions. The course must have a sufficient connection to your current work activities as an employee and:
Your expenses are deductible in relation to the course you undertake and the costs incurred because of it. You can review the information on our website. It does sound as though the course you are doing is relevant so your expenses would be also.
Hope this helps.

You can't claim a deduction for self-education expenses for a course that doesn't have a sufficient connection to your current work activities even though it:
You would need to meet the eligibility criteria in order to claim a deduction. You have advised it is not relevant to your current work. Do you mean the course or the equipment. If you actually do meet the eligibility then you can claim a deduction for self education expenses, If it is a depreciable item then you will need to look at this. Generally you need to pay the first $250 towards self education expenses also.
Please use the links provided to determine your eligibility.

Hi Jodie
Would this apply for single unit studies as well?
Hi @Misty111222333,
It doesn't matter whether you're studying full-time or part-time, as long as the course meets the guidelines on our website that @Jodie_ATO mentioned.
It's not a course though, it is 2 single unit studies. Does it still apply then?
