Write A Letter To Your Boss Asking For Permission To Do A Course
Dear [Boss’ name],
As you know, I have been working for the company for over two years now. I’m a hard worker and always strive to be my best. Over the past few months, I have been thinking about taking some time out from work to study for a course that will help me develop my skills even more. This course is available online and free of charge, so it would not impact on my performance at work.
I am asking for your permission to take this course because I believe it will help me become a better employee. I would like to take it during my lunch break (which I already have) so that my productivity at work doesn’t suffer. The course only takes 10 weeks, which means that I will be able to complete it before the end of summer and return ready to hit the ground running again with renewed enthusiasm and motivation!
I hope you’ll consider allowing me to do this course—it would mean so much to me!
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing this letter to ask for your permission to attend a course on [course name]. I believe that it will help me grow as a person and a professional, and I would like to take it next month.
I have been working at [company name] since October 2015 and have been learning new skills every day. I am very grateful to have such an opportunity, and I know that taking this class would be a great addition to my resume.
I understand that you have invested in me when you hired me, and I want to make sure that the time away from work does not impact my performance negatively. If you feel comfortable granting me this time off for personal development, please let me know so we can finalize our plans for next month! Thank you very much for considering my request!
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m writing to you today because I’d like to ask for permission to do a course. It’s a short course that will only take me a few weeks and it won’t interfere with my work here at all. The course is called “Leadership and Management Training” and it’s part of the University of Toronto’s continuing education program.
I think this would be a great opportunity for me to learn new skills and improve on my current ones. I’ve been working here at [company] for two years now, and as you know I love my job. However, in order to continue improving myself, I feel like it would be beneficial for me to take this course.
If you decide that this is something that would benefit me, please let me know!
Dear [name],
I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I’ve been thinking about the course I’m taking and how it might affect my work performance, and I wanted to reach out to you to talk about it.
The course is called [course name]. It’s a week-long intensive that covers the basics of social media marketing, which is something we’ve talked about a lot at work.
I don’t think this will be a problem for us because it’s only one week long, but I wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be any issues before signing up for the class.
Dear [boss’s name],
I’m writing to request permission to take the [course name] course. It’s an online course that will help me learn more about [topic].
I really believe this will help me do my job better, and I am very excited about it. I hope you will consider my request.
Thanks, [name].
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m writing to ask for permission to participate in a one-week long course on [X] that will be held at [location]. This course will not only help me learn more about [X], but it will also give me the chance to meet some people from other companies and learn how they deal with similar issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about my request. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to ask for your permission to do a course [course name] at the local college. The course will run from May 2019 to June 2020 and would require me to cut down my working hours from 40 hours per week to 20 hours per week. I have discussed this with my team members and they are also willing to work on a part-time basis so that we can continue to deliver quality services while I am away.
My goal is to become a certified [job role] and this will help me achieve my career goals, which is why I hope you approve of this request.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Subject: Permission to take a course
Dear [boss name],
I am writing to ask for your permission to take a course in the spring. I am interested in [name of course] and would like to sign up for it. This course would be offered by [school name], which is located at [address]. The cost of the course will be $6,000 and I understand that this is not covered by my current benefits package.

In this role, I manage accounts with a number of different clients, including those in the fashion industry. The focus on strategic planning and customer retention that this course provides will help me develop more effective strategies for managing our clients’ needs. Additionally, the skills and knowledge gained from this class will help me improve my public speaking skills, which are essential when presenting new products or services to customers. Finally, my current position requires me to travel frequently throughout Europe and Asia; taking this class will help me better prepare myself for these trips by providing additional opportunities for practice and reinforcement through real-world application.
Thank you, [your name].

Dear [boss name],
I am writing to you to ask for your permission to take a course that will help me improve my skills in [area of expertise]. I have been working at [company name] for over two years now and have learned a lot about our industry through experience. However, there are some things that I still don’t know and that I would like to learn more about. For example, I would like to learn how to use [programming language] because it is a skill that many companies value highly.
I feel that this course will help me become more knowledgeable about our industry and allow me to serve the company better. My goal is always to be the best employee possible, so this course would be very useful for me in my career path at [company name]. It would also benefit our company by allowing me to work more efficiently and provide greater value as an employee.

Thank you, [your name].
Dear [Boss Name],
I am writing to ask for your approval to take the [course name] course. I am really passionate about the subject and would love to learn more about it so that I can become an even better employee. I have been working hard lately, and I know this will be a great opportunity to learn new things and spend time on myself.
I would be able to complete the course quickly because it is online and self-paced, which means that I can do it in my spare time. Also, I plan on working on it when I’m not needed at work or if there’s an upcoming holiday break.
If you think this course is worth my time, please approve my request!
Dear [boss name],
I am writing to you out of concern that I may not be able to do my job as well as I would like to. I love what I do, but I feel like there are skills that could help me be more effective at my job. I’ve been doing a lot of research and I’d really like to participate in [name of course] so that when the next opportunity comes up, I’ll be ready.
I know this might not be a good time for it—you have enough on your plate as it is—but if there’s any way you could give me permission to take this course now, even if it means taking some time off later in order to make up for it? I promise that taking this course will only help me do better in my position.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
