Regarding loans, retention contracts, etc... IMO, the difference is if it's employee selected training (like working on an advanced degree) vs. training that's necessary to maintain the explicit job function. In this case, a one week class hardly warrants the effort of all the hoo-hah and arm waiving, not to mention the probably mis-understanding of management intent by the employee. If it's a multiple-course curriculum, then such overhead may be appropriate.
