It is legal, but you can write off the expense for the training on your income taxes as a business expense.

It depends on your profession. If you are a teacher, lawyer, hairdresser, doctor, or any profession that requires you to keep your license current, then yes. If you are a business professional and have to go out of town for a conference, then the employer should pay for your hotel and training fee.
