I was employed by a company for three months. This employer sent me to a class for me to gather information to better the classes I was giving for their company. My class of 6 days ended last Wednesday and on Thursday my boss called me into her office and told me," this isn't working out," but no other reason why I was being terminated. I had not had any verbal or written repremainds. Today I received a letter from her stating that I need to send them the original certificate for the class or repay her $975.00 for the class and the time off work. We did not have anyting verbal or written regarding the class. as I was expecting to use the class information in my job. Do I have to send her the original certificate or repay her the $975.00 ?

The simple answer is no. Unless there is a specific contract, or implied contract, that you would be responsible for the payment of the class then they are out of luck. The company would need to show that you were fired for gross misconduct or that you resigned to have a chance at reclaiming the money. Send them a letter that you will not be remitting any payment for the class. File for unemployment. Find a new job.
