Dear _____________________,

Developing my project management skills are something I am highly interested in. Can we check out this new training from the Engineering Management Institute?

It’s called the Project Management Accelerator, and it’s an online interactive program that teaches the essentials of becoming an effective project manager including topics like project scope, scheduling basics, project planning, cost estimating and running effective kick-off meetings. It’s an intensive 5-week interactive experience made of skill building sessions and challenging assignments.

This program will help me build project management skills that I need to manage projects and clients more effectively. Previous coaching clients have said that EMI’s trainings have transformed the way they do business and see opportunities. Everything is learn-at-your-own-pace, so I can participate on my own schedule while still cranking at work.

The instructor is a seasoned licensed professional engineer and PMP who has been giving this training for many years.

The cost right now for individuals is $547 but may increase for future sessions. Would the company be willing to reimburse me for this training? We can also enroll a team of 4 to 5 people and work on a specific management challenge that our company is facing and present the challenge back to you.

This could be the training we’ve needed on our team right now. Looking forward to your decision.

Thanks,
(Your name)
