Letter (Band 6–6.5)
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to inform you about a training course that I recently found online, which I
believe would be very useful for my current role in the company.
The course is an online professional training program focused on data analysis and
reporting skills. It lasts for eight weeks and includes topics such as data visualization,
basic programming, and report preparation. The course is flexible, as the classes are
recorded, which means it can be completed outside working hours.
I believe this course would be beneficial for my work because it would help me analyze
data more efficiently and prepare clearer reports. These skills would improve the quality
of my work and allow me to support the team more effectively in decision-making
processes.
I would like to ask if the company could support me by covering part of the course fee or
allowing some flexibility in my schedule during the course period. I am confident that this
training would be a valuable investment for both my professional development and the
company.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Martinez

MODELO BAND 7–7.5
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to inform you about a professional training course that I recently came
across online, which I believe would significantly enhance my performance at work.
The course is an eight-week online program focused on advanced data analysis and
reporting techniques. It covers topics such as data visualization tools, analytical
methods, and effective communication of results. The course is designed for working
professionals and offers flexible study hours, allowing participants to complete the
material outside regular working time.
This training would be highly beneficial for my role, as it would enable me to analyze
company data more accurately and present insights in a clearer and more structured
way. As a result, I would be able to contribute more effectively to projects and support
better-informed business decisions.
I would appreciate it if the company could assist by funding the course fee or allowing
limited study time during working hours when necessary. I am confident that the skills
gained from this course would directly benefit the team and the organization as a whole.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to discussing this further with
you.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Martinez

Model answer in the website
Dear Martin
I have recently become aware of a course called Social Media Marketing Essentials and I
am writing to ask for your support in taking this course. It is a five-day intensive program
being offered by the Business Leadership Association and it starts on Monday 15
February. I believe the course would be of great benefit to our company as we have been
recently considering how to build up our social media presence and attract more
customers online. After reading reviews by former participants, I think this Social Media
course will help me professionally in my capacity as Communications Manager and make
a real difference to our company.
For these reasons, I am requesting paid leave from 15-20 February to attend the course.
It would be helpful if other team members did not take leave at this time; so far nobody
else has applied. I believe this will not be a particularly busy time at work, but I am
prepared to spend some time working on those evenings if needed.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Neil MacFarlane
