As an employee of a large national company, I decided that I'd like to do a degree in civil engineering to help my job prospects.
Imagine my disgust when they refused to pay for it or assist me in any way, shape or form as it had nothing to do with my current role.
I then thought I'd try to get it paid for me elsewhere. Would you believe it! They say because I earn money myself, I'd have to pay for it out my own pocket.

The OP would be paying for it to out of his own pocket, he isn't trying to get HMRC to pay for it. If your firm does any form of training you can be sure that they will have all or the bulk of costs for it offset against there tax liabilities, OP is enquiring about a similar thing.
