Contract education

Process for offering a contract education course

Before the course starts

1. Ensure that the director of studies for the division to which the course will belong is notified about the course.
2. Contact the person responsible for lifelong learning (LLA) at the school, lla@eecs.kth.se, to discuss the course's structure, funding and pricing.
   Pricing of contract education

   There are two types of contract education. Pricing differs depending on the type.

   1) External students joining an existing course 
   A simple principle of a fixed administrative cost per student plus a cost per higher education credit is applied here. In these cases, the price is the same as the tuition fee stated in Kopps. 

   2) Developed course (with or without credits)
   In this case, the same principles are applied as to other projects we carry out. Here, as a course provider, you must estimate what costs will arise for, for example: 

   • planning 
   • development 
   • teaching (lectures, labs, correction/feedback, etc.) 
   • administration (costs more, e.g. for access to a learning platform and if higher education credits are awarded)  
   • premises 
   • coffee/food

   Most of these items are measured in [hours x hourly cost]. VAT is added.

3. Contact the school's agreement coordinator, avtal@eecs.kth.se, to establish an agreement between KTH and the company/client. Note that the company/client chooses the participants for the course. Assist with specifying the necessary prior knowledge and any diagnostic test of the prior knowledge.
4. Fill in the decision template (in Swedish) "Bilagor - Inrättande av kurs inom uppdragsutbildning". The course must have a course code ending in U.
5. Send the completed template to kursplaner@eecs.kth.se together with a motivation for the establishment.
6. The syllabus is reviewed by the course syllabus reviewing committee (KPK).
7. The course is presented to the faculty board, which decides whether the course should be established or not.
8. If the faculty board approves the course, you will receive a notification from the school’s office of student affairs that the course is registered in Ladok.
9. The school’s office of student affairs ensures that a course offering is created so that students can be admitted and that a course room in Canvas is created.
10. The school’s office of student affairs admits and registers course participants in Ladok. Participants are synced to Canvas once they have been registered. Contact education-support@eecs.kth.se if external teachers/assistants are to be added to the course room in Canvas.
11. Course participants must activate their KTH accounts themselves, see information on Student web: KTH account .

After completing the course

1. Report the results in Ladok.
2. Make a course evaluation
3. Follow up the implementation of the course with the company/client.
4. Make a course analysis and publish it.
