Training Concept
EMA Mainframe Academy's Blended Learning Concept
The EMA GmbH employs an innovative blended learning approach that seamlessly integrates various learning methods and formats.
Our training programs combine self-paced online learning with in-person sessions. This structured approach guides learners step-by-step towards success. Studies have shown that this method significantly enhances learning outcomes.
The majority of the training is conducted online, enabling optimal integration into professional life while keeping costs low.
The benefit for companies: The acquired knowledge can be directly applied in practical work settings.

Advantages
Our blended learning approach offers numerous advantages, enabling participants to:
acquire knowledge faster
develop a deeper understanding
apply what they've learned more effectively
continue learning independently
choose when and where they learn
The key to success lies in the learners' ability to set their own pace and maintain high levels of self-motivation.
Kick-Off & Wrap-Up Workshop
The kick-off and wrap-up workshops are integral components of our training programs. They provide an opportunity for participants to meet each other, become familiar with the learning environment and the overall concept. On demand, we conduct these workshops onsite (especially for in-house courses).
Kick-Off
At the beginning of each course, we introduce our new participants to the learning methods and infrastructure.
Wrap-Up Workshop
This workshop serves to summarize the key content, clarify any outstanding questions, and – in the case of certified qualifications – conduct a final exam.
Interactive Online Courses with Maximum Practical Relevance
Our live online training sessions are interactive and combine presentations, discussions, and live demonstrations. Ample time is dedicated to answering questions and addressing challenges encountered during self-study.
If you're unable to attend a session, you can easily catch up using the recordings.
State-of-the-art Tools for an Optimal Learning Experience
To ensure an optimal learning experience, we rely on a combination of proven systems:
Adobe Connect
For our synchronous live sessions, we use Adobe Connect as our virtual classroom software.
Moodle
We use Moodle as our Learning Management System (LMS). Here, you will find all training materials, videos, assignments, and recordings in one central location.
Data Privacy
The software solutions we use, such as Adobe Connect and Moodle, comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We, EMA GmbH and EMA AG, guarantee the careful handling of your data and store it only for as long as is necessary for the purpose of conducting the training.
Your data security is our top priority. However, participation in our blended learning program is not possible without the collection of your data.
