The Learning Agreement for Traineeships, which we will call a training agreement from now on, formalises the arrangements that you’ve made and safeguards the quality of your placement. It describes your tasks, the knowledge and skills you will acquire, the arrangements that have been made regarding monitoring and evaluation, etc.

The agreement must be signed by yourself, your home institution and the relevant international coordinator at the University of Antwerp before the start of your work placement. It is designed to guarantee admission at the University of Antwerp and full recognition of your placement at your home institution. 

Contact your home institution for a template; you can also find a template on the website of the European Commission. After completion, upload the agreement to Mobility Online.

What about workplace accident insurance? 

Students participating in Erasmus placement are not covered by the workplace accident insurance, so they must be insured by their home institution. Therefore, all boxes in the training agreement should be checked as insured by the home institution, not by ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ.
