Subject: Approval request: certification study materials (a professional IT certification)
Hi, I'd like to request reimbursement for an annual CertStud subscription to prepare for a professional IT certification. What it is: practice questions, full timed practice exams, and flashcards that mirror the real a professional IT certification exam. Cost: $119.99 for 12 months — a single invoice, not a recurring monthly charge. Why it's worth it: the certification is directly relevant to my role, and passing it strengthens the team's coverage. I can provide a formal invoice and a W-9 for the finance team. Please let me know if this can be expensed. Thanks,
The undersigned purchased an annual CertStud subscription to prepare for a professional IT certification. This expense was incurred for the benefit of my employer's business, to obtain a certification directly relevant to the role. Payment was made personally and is submitted for reimbursement per company policy.

You can cancel anytime from your billing settings. Because the annual plan is prepaid, contact support and we will review requests where reimbursement was declined.
