Required to take training, required to repay all training costs if terminated

I was looking at my employee handbook, and I saw that the company will reimburse the employee for any job-related training/education expenses (up to $2000). However, if the employee terminates FOR ANY REASON he/she must repay all training expenses incurred in the last 12 months. My job description says I am required to do some training every year, and my boss suggested a school where courses average $2,800 each.
It sounds like I will be forced to use the maximum benefit each year and if I leave they let me go at any time I will be on the hook for the entire benefit amount. Is this legal?
