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.
