REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TEMPLATE LETTER
Subject: Request for Approval: strategically important PA/EA virtual training
Dear … ,
I am writing to ask for approval to attend a professional training The Executive Assistants’ Bootcamp [Certified Virtual Edition] – recommended by numerous relevant admin professionals and executives, with only 8 hours of duration in total within two days. I believe it’s a fact that in our organization many positions attend various trainings on a regular basis, but admins tend to be overlooked.
This training has come to my attention since the rising demands of our business and the dynamics of new operations, changes in the marketplace and our clients’/partners’ expectations, which I feel I’d be able to better support and coordinate if I get a chance to level up my professional skills in this area.
This training seems to be practical and offers real-life solutions for the dynamic workplace, and that’s why it has so many recommendations by professionals from leading organizations, such as: Google, NASA, Tesla, Stanford University, Kellogs, Starbucks, Disney, General Electric, Gap, PWC, McKinsey, RBC, Nestle, Lego, UBS, IBM and many more..
It would not disrupt my workflow since it only takes 4 hours per day, for 2 days which I can preplan and organize. It is done virtually, which leaves me at my desk and able to stop and rewind later in case my attention is needed for some urgent matter. The participation fee is only $429, all-inclusive which is a fair market price (I checked) for the benefits offered and the international ranking of the training provider.
Date of this training is [Moth, Day] The organizer is also flexible with changes and swaps – so if something urgent comes up on this date that would stop me from attending, I can simply be reallocated to attend the next session.
Once I complete this training I would be happy to make myself available to share key insights with our team.
Allow me once more to stress how important I believe project management skills are in the new world of work and I strongly believe this would equip me with new skills to better coordinate and support our partners, stakeholders and management team.
Thank you in advance for saying Yes to this!
Yours sincerely,
