Request for support for certification as Project Management Professional (PMP®)
Key objective: Better Project Business


Dear Mr./Ms. ##### (Please adjust according to the recipient),

In recognition of our performance as project managers for ##### (add company), we are requesting to consider sponsorship of our certification.

A certification is an acknowledgment of knowledge and professionalism. It represents the abilities gathered and a person’s commitment to stand up for the project while upholding professional ethics.

It also signals experience in this area, as this is a prerequisite for eligibility for the exam. Additionally, through the intensive preparation a certification examination requires, project managers can intensify and expand their present knowledge profoundly. Therefore, we recommend hiring some of the best trainers globally, such as Oliver F. Lehmann.

Here are some reasons for the company to sponsor certification as Project Management Professional (PMP), a credential offered by Project Management Institute:

• Certified project managers signal the company’s professionalism and are an effective means to win attractive project business.

• Project Management Institute (PMI) is the most prominent international association of project management experts globally. The worldwide number of PMP-certified individuals is over 1 million.

• The PMP certificate has gained a high level of recognition, a fact from which our organization can benefit greatly.

• PMI is maintaining high quality and integrity in the exam.

• A successfully earned certificate demonstrates skills and knowledge in leading project teams and reaching project objectives within time, cost, and resource limits.

• The certificate improves the standing of project managers towards internal and customer-side stakeholders for better project success.

• The preparation period for the PMP certification allows candidates to reflect deeply on their ways of working. By consolidating experience with new knowledge, we will see successes and failures in another light.

A credential will make this process visible.

Since each certified employee increases the value and reputation of an organization, our company will benefit from the skills and knowledge gathered during your exam preparation. For our customer projects, this certificate will significantly increase the willingness of prospective customers to contract out their work to us. Later in the project, the credential improves our standing in contact with the customer. All this leads to more and better project business, enhancing our company’s ability to run better projects for customers.

Therefore, we would like your support in becoming certified Project Management Professionals.
