If so, was it tough to get them to?
Nope.
NOoooooooo!!!
Mine pays for the exam fees and 3rd party material. Didn’t have to convince them, they encourage it.
When I took my exams I had to pay for the registration, exam fees, and the cost of a review course.
If I passed the exam, my company would reimburse me.
Good incentive to pass each exam the first time!
have you asked them to?
In my firm it depends on the budget of the specific department, some department pays, some not
My company paid for exams and continues to pay for dues. It was not hard to get them to do so. They have paid for other candidate employees before me and see the value in improving their people.
No but I knew what the answer would be.
Yep. They also cover my travel expenses to/from the test center, including a hotel room the night before.

Same here…
To the OP… they also pay our membership dues (I’m not there yet, though).
Our firm pays nothing, nor gives any study leaves.
i was able to get 5 days of paid study leave …that’s it…
