Erasmus+ invited experts: an ELA trainer at your school or organisation
Erasmus+ KA1 lets schools, adult education and VET organisations invite a trainer from abroad to work with their staff on site. On request, and subject to trainer availability, one of our trainers can come to you and run a training on any of the topics of our courses.
What the Erasmus+ Programme Guide says about invited experts
Invited experts are one of the “other supported activities” of KA1 mobility projects in school education, vocational education and training, and adult education, in both short-term (KA122) and accredited (KA121) projects.
A professional from another country
Trainers, teachers, policy experts or other qualified professionals from another EU Member State or a third country associated to the Programme.
From 2 to 60 days
The visit always takes place at the organisation that receives the grant, consortium members included.
Train your staff on site
For example: training the staff, demonstrating new teaching methods, or helping transfer good practices in organisation and management.
A learning programme
Agreed with your organisation before the visit. Afterwards, you keep the executed programme as proof that the activity took place.
Alongside other mobility
A project must include at least one staff or learner mobility activity: the invited expert is added to it, not requested on its own.
Travel, individual and organisational support
The grant covers the expert’s travel and stay through the standard unit costs, plus 100 EUR of organisational support. The “course fees” category does not apply to invited experts.

Trainers from Italy and Spain, matched to your country
