Record one-time costs, recurring expenses and the time you expect to commit. Compare an option with what you would otherwise do during that period. A total that leaves out a known cost is not a complete comparison. Keep confirmed quotes separate from your own estimates.

02

Questions to take forward

  • Which costs are paid once?
  • Which expenses recur while you train?
  • What income or other activity would you give up?
03

Evidence before a decision

Keep the source, date, scope and your actual question together. Confirm provider, employer and issuing-body terms with their responsible source. Separate your own estimates from documented facts and do not treat an empty answer as proof.
