How to expense a Modal Course
Before you enroll

Remember to confirm your employer’s expense policy and/or get approval from your manager before purchasing a Modal Course! Please refer to any internal guidelines for the most accurate instructions for getting reimbursed.

Your receipt

After you enroll in a Modal Course, you will receive a receipt via email. Be sure to double check what your company requires, but typically you can attach this receipt to your company’s expense software, or forward it directly to your accounting team for reimbursement. Please reach out to support@modal.io if you need help adding extra required information to your receipt or if you have any questions.

Your certificate

Some employers require a certificate of completion before reimbursing an educational expense like this one. Upon completion of your course, you will receive your certificate via email, and will also be able to download your certificate from your Modal Dashboard. Your certificate will include your name, the course name, and the month/year you earned your certificate.
