Self-funding CIPD course as doesn't want tie-in

After asking employer if they are willing to help fund the level 5 CIPD course and him brushing it off. Employee decided to self fund the course... now employer has been told by a friend that he should pay for the course or risk losing said member of staff due them advancing in careers and able to gain more pay etc. Employee doesn’t want employer to fund the course anymore and instead would like to request a pay rise due to not being on a great wage anyway for the role they do... how would they go about this?

  • Employee didn’t expect emoter to pay for course so enrolled off own back.. the issue now is employer has now suggested paying for the course in a panic that he will lose said member off staff once they are qualified.. employee now doesn’t want them to fund the course but now thinks that employer will just assume they are doing it to find a better career
