How Erasmus+ funding works — and what it costs
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 venue, with networking meals and cultural visits provided by us and fully covered by Erasmus+ funding — so you simply organise your international flights and rely on us for everything else. 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), a walking tour 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
