What is the relevance of my BERT account?
We use the amount in your BERT account as a benchmark to help us decide how much we can reimburse toward the cost of your training.

How much of the training costs will you cover?
In most cases we will not cover the full cost of your training.

We will advise you in writing about the amount that we will pay.
