What is an Erasmus+ ICT teacher training course?
An Erasmus+ ICT teacher training course is a fully-funded professional development programme, delivered abroad under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (KA1), that helps teachers and education staff bring ICT, new technologies and AI into their teaching. New tools appear every month and the real challenge is adopting them without getting lost in the complexity: at a high-quality Erasmus+ course you don’t sit through theory — you try the tools yourself, see what fits your subject and age group, and leave with a toolkit you can use as soon as you’re back.
Below you’ll find who it’s for, what you’ll be able to do, how the week is run, why teachers rate ELA 5/5, and how your Erasmus+ grant covers it all. With ELA you get a genuine guarantee of quality — full compliance with Erasmus+ quality standards, real networking with peers, and end-to-end support from enrolment to the dissemination of your project — plus skills you learn in a practical way and can use as soon as you’re back.
Who it’s for — and who it’s not
This course is designed for teachers and trainers of every level (pre-school, primary, secondary, adult and higher education), and educational and non-teaching staff (administrative staff, school managers, headmasters) across school, VET and adult education — including NGOs and local authorities. Participants come from all Erasmus+ eligible countries and should already hold an Erasmus+ grant for KA1. It’s recommended for intermediate computer users, and a single session may bring together education staff from different school levels — part of what makes the networking so valuable.
It’s probably not the right fit if…
- you’re looking for a purely theoretical course — this one is hands-on;
- you don’t have, and aren’t applying for, an Erasmus+ grant;
- your English is below B1 — you don’t need to be a native speaker and our trainers actively help, but you need a working level to take part and collaborate;
- you already work at an advanced ICT/AI level → a better fit is our Artificial Intelligence Course for Teachers: Advanced Tools and Apps;
- you’re closer to a beginner with ICT and AI tools → start with Making the most of new technologies, apps and social media in the classroom or Discover the best apps and tools for e-learning, distance learning and web design.

Pick your Erasmus+ date and European city
Courses run throughout the year in Bologna, Palermo, Tenerife, Athens, Porto and Zagreb — so you can match your mobility to your school calendar and choose the destination you’ll love.
We keep each session small on purpose — limited places per date, so the group stays collaborative and the trainer can follow everyone. Some dates below may already be fully booked: once a session fills up we can’t add participants. If a date is confirmed or open for enrolment, pre-register now to hold your place while your paperwork is finalised — pre-registration doesn’t commit you, it just keeps your seat until you confirm.
A confirmed session is guaranteed to run: it is never cancelled.
All courses are hosted and delivered by local Academies accredited by Erasmus Learning Academy and legally established in the country where the course takes place, in full compliance with Erasmus+ requirements and quality standards.

Teachers who took this Erasmus+ course, in their words
“A useful learning experience in Tenerife. The course gives teachers the opportunity to renew their teaching methods in a modern and friendly way. It offers very interesting games, digital and not, and apps and tools so that teachers can enrich their lessons.”
“We worked on different apps and new technologies to be used in education, getting acquainted and working confidently with them. After the theoretical part we always put the apps into practice and built presentations, exercises and interactive materials for class. I highly recommend this course to anybody wanting to learn more about digital technologies in education, or who feels insecure about digitalisation.”
“In a very professional way, the training enabled us not only to learn theoretically about the new and relevant technologies and ICT trends, but also to actively explore, try out, and exchange ideas with the other participants. The exchange ELA provided — in class and during network activities — really expanded and improved my skills.”
Methodology, approach & learning outcomes
Methodology & approach
Our methodology is highly practical and participant-centred, in line with Erasmus+ quality standards: real-job examples, case studies, simulations, learning-by-doing, group and peer activities, and best-practice exchange among participants. Daily wrap-ups and brief evaluations keep the programme tailored to your group, and the multinational training team gives the course a genuine European dimension.

This Erasmus+ ICT training gives you practical guidance to harness that potential: explore AI as a teaching tool, build interactive content, run real-time assessment, use game-based learning, and create multimedia and video for learning. Topics stay current and are shaped by what our teachers ask for and by classroom trends, from inclusion and wellbeing to AI and innovative methods.

Erasmus+ is an EU programme that covers 100% of your teacher training abroad. Here’s how the grant works, and how our prices are built to fit within it.

What it costs
Teachers, trainers, headmasters and any other staff of education organisations are eligible for an Erasmus+ grant that covers all the costs of attending our training courses — travel, board and lodging, cultural activities and all fees. Our courses are tailored to be fully funded by Erasmus+, with different options to ensure the best comfort and quality at a price that stays within the grant.
We offer our courses in two packages. The Standard Package brings together training and accommodation in the same hotel, with breakfast, coffee breaks, networking meals (full board in Bologna) and cultural visits provided by us and fully covered by Erasmus+ funding — you just book your international flights. If you prefer to book your own room, the Essential Package (no accommodation) includes everything except accommodation and meals. We recommend the Standard Package: staying where the course takes place makes logistics, networking with fellow participants, safety and timing much easier.
The Standard Package costs EUR 1,415 in Bologna, EUR 1,235 in Palermo and Zagreb, EUR 1,265 in Tenerife, EUR 1,215 in Athens and EUR 1,335 in Porto. This price includes the course fee, certification and support fee, accommodation in a single room, breakfast, 2 coffee breaks per day, full board (in Bologna) or 3 networking meals (in the other locations), two walking tours in the venue’s city and a sum-up dissemination video.
You can stay in a single or a double room — whichever you prefer — and we can also arrange accommodation for people or relatives accompanying the participants.
Sending several colleagues? One contact, every document.
You coordinate your school’s Erasmus+ mobility on top of a full timetable. We take the paperwork, the logistics and the follow-up off your desk — for one teacher or for your whole staff.
- One dedicated contact person for your whole group, from enrolment to dissemination
- Every document your project needs: Mobility Agreements, invitation letters, detailed programme, certificates, Europass Mobility on request — and anything else your National Agency asks for
- Several sessions in the same week, so more colleagues can go at the same time — up to 3 per organisation in each session, so every group stays genuinely international
- Waiting for project approval? Pre-register now and cancel at no cost if your project is not approved
- Free rescheduling up to two months before the course, a flexibility many providers don’t offer

Practical details
Language & accessibility
Held in English (B1+ recommended). Most participants are non-native speakers; clear language, written materials and peer support make everything accessible.
Food, accommodation & accompanying people
We cater to specific dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free and more). We can also arrange accommodation for accompanying people and family members — spots are limited, so pre-register early to secure yours.
How many funding days to request
We recommend requesting 9 days of individual support — 7 for the course plus 2 for travel — so you can plan your stay with more flexibility and enjoy every cultural activity, from the first day to the last.
Cancellation & reschedule
Choose our fully refundable option and we refund everything if you cancel. With the standard option you’re still covered: free rescheduling at any time for force majeure (serious illness, family emergencies), and no fee for reschedules requested at least 2 months before the course.
