Class Reps

EC Students' Association recruit, train and support the Class Reps at Edinburgh College. Every year, your class will elect two fellow students to be Class Reps. These representatives are vital to improve the learning and teaching experience at Edinburgh College.

Class Reps act as our eyes and ears, identifying and reporting issues at the class level, as well as working with us to create solutions. Being a Class Rep is very rewarding as you get to help shape and improve the college for current and future students.

Becoming a Class Rep is not a huge commitment - you will need to attend one training session, and  after that we host three or four meetings over the course of the year, as well as occasionally meeting with your curriculum staff. After each meeting, we produce a report about what was discussed and the issues identified. This report is then presented to Edinburgh College's Senior Management Team for them to consider and improve on areas highlighted. You can read these previous reports, as well as other relevant documents such as our Class Rep Handbook, below.

This year, we're launching a Lead Rep scheme which is designed to facilitate communication between students, curriculum staff and college management. Lead Reps will be able to play a really important part in shaping the student experience in college, from taking part in focus groups to chatting directly with the staff managing their course areas. You can find out more and express your interest here.
