Good news: many companies offer an annual L&D (learning & development) or education budget that can cover the cost of this program! Here’s how to make it easy to get reimbursed.
After you enroll, you’ll receive a receipt for your purchase. You can forward this directly to your manager or L&D team for reimbursement.
If you need a more detailed invoice (e.g. including your company name), email [email protected] and we’ll provide one.
Managers are most likely to approve when they see clear benefits to the business, not just to you. Make it clear that:
If you need manager approval before enrolling, we’ve drafted some email templates you can copy and personalize. The key is to frame the bootcamp as not just an investment in you—but a way for your whole team to benefit.

I expect to put the learnings into practice right away and will share key takeaways with the team. Would you be open to covering this through our L&D budget?
Thanks,

Some teams find it most effective to send multiple PMs together—so everyone levels up with a shared framework and language. If that’s interesting, email [email protected] and we can arrange a group enrollment or provide itemized invoices.
