There's no reason why a company should pay for a transferable course only to see their investment benefit a competitor but 5 years is a bit strong. If she offers to pay it back if she leaves within 3 years I'd say that would be fair.
Ultimately though, her employer can make her take it or leave it; they're under no obligation.

I think what you do is fair enough and would probably stand up in court. I don't think that demanding a full payment of training costs after 4 years 11 months would though as the employer would be seen to have gained from that training and it will be seen as a gun to the head style contract.
