Agreement for Traineeships
The purpose of the Learning Agreement is to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the
traineeship period abroad and to ensure that the trainee will receive recognition in their degree for
the traineeship successfully completed abroad.
This template is applicable to Erasmus+ mobility for traineeships between Programme Countries as
well as to Partner Countries within the framework of Key Action 131. It is recommended to use this
template. However, if higher education institutions already have an IT system in place to produce the
Learning Agreement or the Transcript of Records, they can continue using it, provided that all the
minimum requirements listed in this document are made available. Further fields can be added, if
needed (e.g. information on the coordinator of a consortium), and the format (e.g. font size and
colours) can be adapted.
BEFORE THE MOBILITY
Administrative data
Before the mobility, it is necessary to fill in page 1 with information on the trainee, the Sending
Institution and the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise and the three parties have to agree on the
section to be completed before the mobility.
In case some administrative data is already available to the three parties, there is no need to repeat
it in this template.
On page 1, most of the information related to the trainee, the Sending and Receiving Organisations
will have to be encoded in the Beneficiary Module.
Traineeship Programme at the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise (Table A)
The Traineeship Programme at the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise should include the indicative
start and end months of the agreed traineeship, the traineeship title, as well as the number of
working hours per week. In case of blended mobility or blended intensive programmes, the duration
of the virtual mobility component(s) should also be indicated.
The detailed programme of the traineeship period should include the tasks/deliverables to be
carried out by the trainee, with their associated timing. If applicable, the added value of the virtual
component of the traineeship should be clearly described.
If the traineeship can be considered a Traineeship in digital skillsi it should be indicated by checking
"yes" in the relevant field.
The Traineeship Programme should indicate which knowledge, intellectual and practical skills and
competences (learning outcomes) will be acquired by the end of the traineeship, e.g. academic,
analytical, communication, decision-making, ICT, innovative and creative, strategic-organisational,
and foreign language skills, teamwork, initiative, adaptability, etc.

Higher Education:
Guidelines for Learning
Agreement for Traineeships
The monitoring plan should describe how and when the trainee will be monitored during the
traineeship by the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise, the Sending Institution, and, if applicable, a
third party.
The evaluation plan should describe the assessment criteria that will be used to evaluate the
traineeship and the learning outcomes.
Language competence
A recommended level of language competenceii in the main language of work should be agreed with
the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise to ensure a proper integration of the trainee in the
Organisation/Enterprise.
The level of language competenceiii in the main language of work, which the trainee already has or
agrees to acquire by the start of the study period, has to be reported in the box provided for that
purpose in the Learning Agreement or, alternatively, in the grant agreement. In case the level of the
selected trainee is below the recommended one when signing the Learning Agreement (or,
alternatively, the grant agreement), the Sending Institution and the trainee should agree that they
will reach the recommended level by the start of the mobility. They should also discuss and decide
on the type of support to be provided to the student by the Sending Institution (either with courses
that can be funded by the Organisational Support grant or with the Erasmus+ OLS language courses,
where applicable) or by the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise.
The Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support (OLS) has been designed to assist Erasmus+ trainees in
improving their knowledge of the main language of work, before and during their stay abroad, to
ensure a better quality of learning mobility.
For mobility between Programme Countries, and for the languages covered by the OLS, the trainee
must carry out an OLS language assessment before the mobility, except for native speakers and in
duly justified cases (e.g. special needs trainees).
The completion of the OLS assessment before departure is a pre-requisite for the mobility. This
assessment will be taken after the trainee is selected, before signing the Learning Agreement or,
alternatively, the grant agreement.
Mobility participants with a level B2 or higher at the first language assessment in their main
language of instruction have the opportunity to follow an OLS language course either in that
language or in the local language of the country, provided it is available in the OLS.
More opportunities for participants following the OLS language courses (OLS Live Coaching: MOOCs,
Forum and Tutoring sessions) are available at http://erasmusplusols.eu.
Sending Institution (Table B)
The Sending Institution commits to recognise the learning outcomes acquired by the trainee upon
satisfactory completion of the traineeship. There are three different provisions for traineeships and
Table B should be filled in accordingly:
1. Traineeships embedded in the curriculum (counting towards the degree);
2. Voluntary traineeships (not obligatory for the degree);
3. Traineeships for recent graduates.

Accident Insurance
It is highly recommended that either the Sending Institution or the Receiving
Organisation/Enterprise provide insurance coverage to the trainee, and fill in the information in
Table B or C accordingly. The trainee must be covered at least by an accident insurance (damages
caused to the trainee at the workplace) and by a liability insurance (damages caused by the trainee
at the workplace).
Receiving Organisation/Enterprise (Table C)
The Receiving Organisation/Enterprise should provide appropriate support, including mentoring,
supervision and equipment, to the trainee.
The Receiving Organisation/Enterprise should also specify whether it will provide financial support
and/or a contribution in kind for the trainee, on top of the Erasmus+ grant.
The Receiving Organisation/Enterprise commits to issue a Traineeship Certificate within 5 weeks
after the end of the traineeship.
Signing the Learning Agreement
All parties must sign the Learning Agreement before the start of the mobility. It is not compulsory to
circulate original paper versions of the document. Scanned copies of signatures or electronic
signatures may be accepted, depending on the national legislation or institutional regulations.
DURING THE MOBILITY
Exceptional Changes to the Traineeship Programme (Table A2)
Table A2 should only be completed during the mobility if changes have to be introduced into the
original Learning Agreement. In that case, Table A should be kept unchanged and changes should be
described in Table A2. The two tables should be kept together in all communications.
When changes to the traineeship programme arise, they should be agreed as soon as possible with
the Sending Institution.
In case the change concerns an extension of the duration of the traineeship programme abroad, the
request can be made by the trainee at the latest one month before the foreseen end date.
Changes of the Responsible person(s)
In case of changes of the responsible person(s), the information below should be inserted by the
Sending Institution or Receiving Organisation/Enterprise, where applicable.
Changes of the Responsible person(s) Name Email Position
New Responsible person at the Sending Institution
New Supervisor at the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise
Confirming the Changes
All parties must approve the changes to the Learning Agreement. The European Commission would
like to limit the use of paper for exchanging documents as much as possible. That is why it is
accepted that information is exchanged electronically, e.g. via email, scanned or digital signatures,

etc. without the need of a paper signature. However, if national legislations or institutional
regulations require paper signatures, a signature box can be added where needed.
AFTER THE MOBILITY
Traineeship Certificate by the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise (Table D)
After the mobility, the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise should send a Traineeship Certificate to
the trainee and Sending Institution, normally within five weeks after successful completion of the
traineeship. It can be provided electronically or through any other means accessible to the trainee
and the Sending Institution.
The Traineeship Certificate will contain at least the information in Table D.
The actual start and end dates of the traineeship programme should be included according to the
following definitions:
- The start date of the traineeship period is the first day the trainee has been present (physically or
virtually) at the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise to carry out their traineeship. For example, this
could be the first day of work, a welcoming event organised by the Receiving
Organisation/Enterprise, an information session for trainees with special needs, a language and
intercultural course organised either by the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise or other
organisations (if the Sending Institution considers it relevant for the mobility).
- The end date of the traineeship period is the last day the trainee has been present physically or
virutally at the receiving Organisation/Enterprise to carry out their traineeship, not their actual
date of departure.
- In case of a blended mobility any virtual mobility periods should also be noted separately in the
certificate.
Transcript of Records and Recognitioniv at the Sending Institution
The Sending Institution should recognise the traineeship according to the provisions in Table B. If
applicable, the Sending Institution should provide the Transcript of Records to the trainee or record
the results in a database (or other means) accessible to the student, normally five weeks after
receiving the Traineeship Certificate, without further requirements than those agreed upon before
the mobility.
The Transcript of Records will contain at least the information that the Sending Institution
committed to provide before the mobility in the Learning Agreement, i.e. the number of ECTS
credits (or equivalent) awarded and the grade given (which can be expressed in the form of
pass/fail).
Diploma Supplement
The information contained in the Traineeship Certificate from the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise
should also be included in the Diploma Supplement produced by the Sending Institution (at least for
Sending Institutions located in Programme Countries), except if the trainee is a recent graduate.
