Dear HR Community

I am wondering if companies are paying for courses to develop their staff professionally in addition to allowances.

For instance, we have a Fire Safety Manager (FSM) who is paid a monthly allowance for being the FSM.

And the FSM has to go for courses to maintain his certification as FSM for us. 

Do we have to pay for these courses since we are already paying him a monthly allowance?

We are in the real estate industry.

Thank you in advance.
