Training Enrollment Request template
A training request form covering everything a manager needs to approve a budget: the type of training, the course or conference name and link, the start date, the total cost including travel, whether time away from work is needed, and the business case. The days-away question only appears when the answer is yes.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- An L&D budget holder who wants every conference and certification request in one comparable shape
- A manager approving training spend who keeps having to ask what the total cost actually includes
- A company with a per-person annual learning budget that needs a running record of what each request costs
- A team where course requests currently arrive as forwarded marketing emails with no business case attached
Tips to get more from it
- The cost field asks for registration plus travel and accommodation together, because a $400 conference ticket with a $1,200 flight is the request that gets declined after approval. Keep that description.
- The time-away branch keeps the days-out question hidden for online courses and books, which is most requests.
- "How will this help your work?" is required and asks where the skill gets applied in the next quarter — the answer that separates a genuine development request from a week out of the office.
- The ending screen tells requesters not to book anything until they hear back. That single line prevents the most expensive mistake in training approval.
Questions people ask
How does the manager approve the request?
The form collects the manager's email as an answer, so approvals route themselves as your org changes. Turn on response notifications and forward each submission, or export the CSV for a batch review at budget time.
Can I track spend against a learning budget with this?
Yes — the cost field is a number, so the CSV export totals and sorts. Filter by requester or team to see who has drawn down what.
Is this training request form free?
Yes. Every question type in it publishes on the free plan, which includes unlimited forms and 500 responses per month.
