EMA Learning Agreements

Content of the EMA Learning Agreement


An EMA Learning Agreement sets out the responsibilities of the student and the Learning Centre. It should clearly define:

  • acceptable attendance, performance and behavioural objectives for the course

  • what is expected from the student

  • the role of the Learning Centre

When students sign their EMA Learning Agreements, they commit to the objectives their Learning Centre has set, in return for a weekly EMA payment.

There are 2 parts to an EMA Learning Agreement:

  • Part 1 sets out the responsibilities of the student and the Learning Centre around the student’s attendance on their course

  • Part 2 sets out the performance and behavioural objectives that the student must achieve to get bonus payments

Both you and the student need to keep a copy of the EMA Learning Agreement. Both copies must have original signatures. You must keep copies of all EMA records for 7 years for audit purposes.

You must use the EMA Learning Agreement template that is available on the Downloads tab of the Learning Centre Portal.
