<p>My older son, a recent college graduate, wants to take a technical film editing class while in New York. This will help him get a particular job. Can 529 funds be used for taking just one such course , assuming that it is from an eligible educational institution?</p>
<p>According to IRS Pub 970, qualified education expenses are tuition, fees, books, and supplies required for enrollment at an eligible educational institution. There’s not a requirement to be enrolled at least half time unless you are looking at room and board as qualified expenses.</p>
