No training assignment signed prior to training
I have done a training for which my employer paid. I did not sign any training agreement as they still did not come with any yet. Will I be forced to sign it as it shoud have be given prior to the training? I have not been made aware before starting the training or even after finishing it of any repayment or deducts from my salary in case of resigning or anything regarding the period that I have to stay in the company.

If you did not agree to pay for this training prior to having received it, then you are under no obligation to repay your employer for it. In order to be held liable for a "debt", a person must be informed of the fact before the debt is incurred.

No, you do not have to pay for it. An employee only has to pay training costs if he/she agreed to pay, and that agreement must be *before* the costs are incurred or training done. If you underwent training with no expectation of paying for it, the employer may not after the fact require you to pay.
