Erasmus Quality Standards for Mobility Projects

The Erasmus+ 2021-2027 programme has introduced a common set of Erasmus Quality Standards for mobility projects in the fields of adult education, vocational education and training, and school education to which organisations implementing Erasmus+ mobility activities must adhere.
These standards are applicable for the years 2021-2027 and exist to ensure good mobility experience and learning outcomes for all participants, and to make sure that all organisations receiving the programme’s funding are contributing to its objectives.
The Erasmus Quality Standards refers to 4 main areas:

good management practices
basic principles
how to provide quality and support to participants
how to share results and knowledge about the programme

At the Erasmus Learning Academy we know very well and we believe in all the Erasmus quality standards and the quality standards for courses under Key Action 1. We holds the Erasmus accrediation as consortium coordinator and closely adhere with the Erasmus quality standards both when we send our staff and learners abroad and when we are receive teachers, education staff and learners from abroad. More than simply complying with the Erasmus quality standards we strongly believe in them and in their value.

If you are working with other course providers we recommend to check if they know and comply with the Erasmus quality standards. You can check here the Erasmus Learning Academy standards and how we comply with the Erasmus quality standards. Before choosing a traiing provider we recommend to carefully check if they are complying (and know well) the Erasmus Quality Standards and their reviews on Trustpilot and Google. Unfortunately, many training centers fail to meet quality standards.
