Claiming Tax Back?

Hello,

I have paid for my own 737 type rating and have secured full time employment with a UK airline.

In my view the cost for the rating should be regarded as an expense with the sole purpose of gaining employment, and should be offset against my income. Initial contact with the IR got me a big no, but I was just wondering if anybody has tried claiming the cost on their tax return and what the outcome was.

Thanks in advance
