Your employer may already pay for this.

Many companies in the Netherlands give staff a learning budget, and a lot of it is never used. Practice for the inburgering exam is learning and development too.

Subject: Request: Dutch exam training from my learning budget

Hi [Manager's name], I would like to use my learning and development budget for Kora. Kora is an online course that can help me prepare for the Dutch inburgering exams: A2, or the B1 Staatsexamen NT2, and KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society). It explains everything in my own language, and I practice speaking, writing, listening and reading in the same format as the real exam. Kora is independent and not part of DUO. Why it matters for my job: I have to pass the inburgering exam, and better Dutch makes it easier to work with colleagues and clients and to handle everyday work here. The cost: the yearly plan is €249 per year, including VAT. That is one payment and one invoice, with the company's name and VAT number on it. There is also a monthly plan at €29 per month. The first week is free, so I can try it first. Website: https://mykora.nl Could you approve this from my learning and development budget? I can forward the invoice to finance, or we can arrange it another way if that is easier. Thank you in advance, [Your name]
