I don't believe that this is allowed. I believe that your flight training school can provide a T2202 for vocational training and you can use that for your income tax filing. Having said that, I am not an accountant so you could check with them. It has been awhile since I wrote those exams, but they weren't tax deductible when I went through.

Re: Claiming SARON & SAMRA on your income tax?
I have not claimed them on my taxes. Because I don't have them. But I have claimed every written test up to my INRAT and IATRA.
My tax accountant says any and all things used on the way to education is to be claimed. No matter the industry.
I had to get a job description from my company stating that they required an IATRA and Group 1 IFR. So I got my multi IFR flight training done. My float rating claimed. I'm addition to my private, night and commercial.
The reason for why people say you can't claim anything past commercial is dumb. And it can be successfully challenged.
If you were in university, would elective courses be taxable? If all you needed was an undergrad degree, would that mean your masters degree or PhD is not eligible? As long as it's in pursuit of a job. You claim it.
That being said. How much is the test, $35? Keep the receipt. And get your job description stating. And get a letter from HR as well.
