Learning Centre Portal is now available for academic year 2025/26

The Learning Centre Portal is now available for academic year 2025/26.

The EMA academic year start date will be Monday 8 September 2025.

The EMA learning agreement forms and payment guides are available on the Learning Centre Portal.

We've sent out your allocation of EMA application packs for academic year 2025/26. If we sent you less than 10 forms last academic year, we've not sent you a delivery. You or your students can download and print the application forms and guidance from the NI Direct website.

Special educational needs schools or colleges have received the same number of forms as in academic year 2024/25. We've also updated our EMA guidance on the LC Services website. This has all the information you need for the new academic year, including publicity materials.
