How often are payments made?

If you are entitled to EMA, payment will be made every week of the course as long as you attend classes regularly and show commitment to your course. EMA can continue for two or three years depending on how long the course is and providing that you continue to fulfil the criteria.

It is possible to receive periodical bonuses of £100 if you can demonstrate real progress and commitment to your learning programme by meeting specific goals agreed between you and your school, college or provider.
