Training Request

Training request

I have worked for ***** for nearly two years I am keen to progress within the company, to do this I believe I would benefit in receiving some training to strengthen the skills I already have and develop them further. I have found a foundation degree course in Business at Farnborough College which I believe would suit my needs to develop me further in my role; the course is designed to give me a broad overview in all aspects of business via a number of modules which are completed throughout the course. I think a course of this nature would really benefit me as it would show me all areas of the business including areas which I currently have little or no experience in; I would therefore gain a greater understanding in the different parts of the business and how the work, which would help me to assist these areas better going forward in my administration role.

The course would take me two years to complete at Farnborough College, upon completion of the course I would receive a Foundation Degree in Business. There are then other options I could take to upgrade it to a full degree or focus on a specific subject should I or the business wish. The course would require me to attend college from 1 - 8.30pm on Mondays during term time and requires 8-10 hours a week study time a week; this includes the time spent at college. To attend the course I would therefore propose that I would finish work on a Monday at 12:30 to attend college, this would be half of my study time per week, and I would then happily complete the rest of my study in my own time outside of work.

I am really keen to develop my skills and to progress within the business; I believe that this course would give me a great introduction into all areas of the business and therefore improve my skills which I am able to offer the business in my administration role going forward.
