Tuition reimbursement or tuition assistance are popular programs offered by many employers. They are arrangements where the employer will pay for parts of or all of an employee’s continuing education and could include language courses.

Most tuition programs are included in your contract, which generally covers:

• How much of your tuition your employer will cover
• The types of courses that qualify
• Any minimum GPA or completion requirements
• Any employment requirements

Tuition reimbursement programs are different from company to company; however, most of them operate in much the same way.

1. Notify your employer of the approved course you want to take.
2. Pay for the course.
3. Your employer will refund you the agreed cost once the course is completed or you meet the requirements set by your employer.
