Dear Madam,

I hope you have had a productive week so far. I am reaching out to you to request for some time off work to pursue a diploma course in Mental Health.

I have mentioned in previous conversations with you that I was interested in doing a course in mental health to help improve my understanding of clients and enhance the service I provide as a social worker. I am excited to share with you that I have recently been offered a spot at St John’s College for the session starting on 1/03/2025. The course runs for 8 weeks and I have to attend classes three days a week, Monday-Wednesday until the 30/04/2025. Your advise in our meeting that staff can benefit from having more knowledge on current mental health issues, made me think this is a great opportunity.

With the knowledge gained from this course, I would be able to assist you and other senior social workers with one-on-one sessions with our clients, as I am aware that the workload is a lot sometimes. Prior to accepting the offer, I wanted to request you for time off for the said period. I would still work as rostered on Thursdays and Fridays.

Yours sincerely,
