Estimated time: 2–3 hoursUpdated: 28 September 2026

Use this guide when you have found a course or qualification that would help you in your job and you want your employer's support. Have the course details, costs, dates and any time you would need away from work ready.

Step by step

  1. Link the training to business needs

    Think about the problems your team faces, the skills gaps you have noticed or the organisation's stated goals. Write down how the training would help with at least one of them. Managers are more likely to agree when they can see a clear benefit to the team.
