EMAs or End of Module Assessments: How to get the grade you want

Building your confidence and helping you succeed in your
EDA Product Knowledge Module studies

Your EMA – or End of Module Assessment – will help you turn your hard work into a result to be proud of.

This page offers resources to help you get to grips with how the EMA works, plus plenty of practical advice on achieving success!

You’ll receive the results of your EMA 4 – 6 weeks after you’ve returned it. Some EMAs go through moderation, which adds a bit of time. Moderation is no reflection of your Assessment performance, it is an extra benchmarking process to ensure that the marking process is fair for all.

Please make yourself familiar with our Malpractice Policy.

Important Information about End of Module Assessments

If you are studying the E-Learning option and have a log in to The EDA Academy, your End of Module Assessment will already be uploaded alongside your course information.

If you choose the Textbook option, your Manager has to order the End of Module Assessment (EMA) by sending an email with the learner’s name and module title to:

training@eda.org.uk
