The EMTAS Code of Practice for the improvement of electronic dance music training:

    Since first published, The EMTAS Code of Practice has helped raise standards and change practice for training organizations and trainers.

    The Code aims to help bring consistency to the development and delivery of training courses, and to the governance, policies, and procedures of the persons and organizations where the training courses are delivered.

    It recognizes the key contributions of the person and organizations that purchase training, the organizations that provide training, and of the individual trainers themselves.

    The small print

    Placements
    Changes to placements and placement capacity will be added to the curent approval and will expire at the same time as the programme with which they are associated.

    Shared modules
    In order for the programme to be approved all modules must be considered by an EMTAS Assessor(s). This includes shared, interprofessional or multi-disciplinary modules which may have been validated by the education provider at a separate event.

    Approval fees

    Assessors will not be allocated until the appropriate fee has been paid or a purchase order for the fee has been received. If the fee or a purchase order number has not been received within 4 weeks of the application form, the approval request will be closed.

    Assessor appointment
    The education team will endeavor to appoint an assessor as soon as possible.  However, this process can take in the region of 4 weeks due to assessor and EMTAS education team availability.  After the form is submitted we will be in touch again by email once an assessor has been appointed.

    Approval timescales
    The length of the approval process varies depending on the complexity of the education provision. Approvals will not be backdated or given retrospectively. You are advised to leave plenty of time between application and running the programme for the first time.

    Conflicts of interest
    EMTAS will do its best to avoid assigning an assessor who may have a conflict of interest with the applying institution. However, it is not possible for us to keep a record of all assessors’ links with other education providers. Applicants are advised to check their institution’s conflict of interest policy prior to applying for CPD Approval.  Please consider your past, present, and future external examiners when completing this field.

    EMTAS data protection fair collection notice
    EMTAS will use the information supplied by you for purposes associated with education such as the administration of events, research, promotion and fundraising, processing award applications and maintaining education records.
