Not required to take Series 79 exam. Can I ask firm to sponsor anyway?

I am working in a corp banking role and wasn't required to take the Series 79 exam, but in case I want to switch roles in the future I figured having this kind of licensing might be helpful. Can people ask the firm to allow employees to take the exam even if it is not required? How does this work?

Thanks!
