EMA NI - Attendance confirmations
Students should submit their applications and sign part 2 of their Learning Agreement by 2 December to receive the January bonus. This is to allow enough time for them to reach their objectives before the January bonus becomes payable.
EMA Wales – Learning Agreements
New students must submit their EMA application form to us within 13 weeks of the start of their course. Returning students must sign their EMA Learning Agreement within 13 weeks of their course start date to receive backdated payments. The start of the course is the date in the Course Start Date field on the Learning Centre Portal.
WGLG – Attendance confirmations
We cannot make payments until you've confirmed student attendance for AY 2026/27. In term 1, confirm attendance after students are in attendance for 2 weeks. Also confirm that students continue to attend at each term. The 2-week rule applies to term 1 only. There's no time frame for the next 2 terms, we expect you to confirm attendance as soon as possible to avoid payment delays.
