Learning Contract
Each participant has a Learning Contract or equivalent that is
drawn up at the start of their programme in discussion with their
academic adviser and employer. It sets out how they will gain the
required knowledge and competence whilst meeting company
objectives.
It ensures that participants, assessors and reviewers
understand:
- what additional learning takes place and what credits are
awarded;
- how it is to be achieved and assessed;
- how the activities meet the UK-SPEC competence statements,
and
- the estimated date of achievement when the participant can
reasonably expect to be successful, subject to completion of the
intended learning outcomes.
The PEI will review the document along with the Professional
Development Audit and confirm to the participant and the university
whether they are acceptable. Alongside this, the participant will
need to record the development of their competences. Some
PEIs have their own forms for this and participants also need to be
aware of any specific additional requirements of their intended
PEI.
