Yes it's logical when a training is being sponsored by a company an equivalent bond should be rendered. I agree with that. But how about this case... my case. I've been working with this company and there was a time when I was introduced with this telco client... And the day comes when this client sponsored a free training for Windows Mobile and i was the one who received the invitation. I've registered in their portal, I think that's why and that portal is public even you can register. My company was also invited by globe and they ask me to attend. Yes I did want to attend, why not? It's free anyway. Example I validated the invitation a week ago and I never heard anything about bound from my boss. The training is schedule Monday and suddenly yesterday night I've received this training clause and I was surprised how they come up with a training price and a bound. I'll show you the equation:

2 day free training = 1 year bond or else pay 8000 (training fee) + 500 transpo.

I was surprised but because I don't want to cause any trouble I signed and that time don't know anything... foolish... But today I'm asking advice of my friends and I've found out that it's not supposed to be. If there are money spent on the training then that's the only time you will be bond or pay an amount...
