Tax Relief on Self Funded Type Rating

If anyone knows the answer to this it would be greatley appreciated - Take the scenario that you were offered a position with Ryanair and given the go ahead to attend one of their approved TRTO's to obtain the type rating.

After shelling out a considerable lump sum, let alone the cost of accomodation, travel from and to etc why on earth should an individual not be able to claim the cost of this back from the taxman?

It would appear to be a legitimate expense. You could not earn the income from the job and hence pay the required amount of tax without the type rating!

Any ideas anyone?
