Should i tell my boss I am or will be looking around?

It's a double edge sword. You want to be nice and save them from "wasting" that money, on the other hand, if there was a decision to be made that had to do with money and would be negative towards you (such as a layoff), do you think they would be nice to you? Probably not. I'd just not tell them, but when you do end up leaving, make it look like you did not know yourself until last minute so they don't think you took advantage of them with the training.

Though if there's a way you can get out of it, like if someone else really wants it, you can try to just get out of it. But I would not tell them you are thinking of leaving or they'll let you go at the drop of a hat.

You at least need a backup plan whether it be another job offer, or an amount of money you would be able to live off of in case of the worst scenario of them letting you go.

But just remember it's easier to find a job when you're already employed then it is if you are unemployed as being unemployed can raise questions about your character to new employers.

Forget shopping for counter offer as a long term option. You ready demostrated your loyalty. If you stay, it will be until you train your replacements.

Also check language for training. You may have to payback within certain time iv you leave voluntarily. Many places is 12 months after finish course.

As a boss, I advise you not to tell your boss.
