Request for Approval Template Letter

Subject: Approval Request

Dear … ,

I am writing to ask for approval to attend a virtual professional training, specialized for executive assistants and administrative professionals: Project Management Masterclass for Administrative Professionals [only 5 hrs duration]. 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 5 hours of my time and 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 $395, 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 next month with the next group.

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,
