if you're leaving just take the disciplinary. they can only issue it once. beside i think it's just a threat anyway.

when the company got taken over did the employees not get a TUPE agreement on your new terms of employment? if not then the new management are making a 'reasonable request' of their employee.
if the competitor is paying 7k more then go to them.

no tupe as we were brought out straight so we just carried on. i am moving but it takes time with interviews and notice

Have you checked in your contract? My company cant discipline me if I refuse to do training as its not written in my contract that I have to accept all training course.

They don't have to pay you anything on top of salary for you to attend a course, apart from any expenses you have genuinely incurred that you otherwise wouldn't incur.

However, it isn't reasonable for the company to ask you to pay back any course fees if you leave, because it is a fait accompli - they have requested you do the courses, it isn't an option.

If you'd have asked for the company to pay for a course, then it would be reasonable for you to pay a return fee upon leaving after a short space of time.
