Erasmus+ is a programme that offers funding for language teachers to train in the UK and develop their teaching skills.
Erasmus+ funding covers: your course, accommodation, sustenance and travel costs.
It replaces the previous funding programmes such as Comenius, Grundtvig and Erasmus.
Europass is part of Erasmus+ funding and our courses are eligible. Our teachers can sign your Europass documents at the end of the course.

Choose which course you would like to do and contact us to reserve your place. You can reserve your place on a course while you wait for your funding decision.
Your school will need confirmation of your place for their funding application.
Schools, organisations, training institutes and universities can apply for Erasmus+ funding on your behalf. You cannot apply individually anymore.
Your organisation needs to register as an applicant organisation on the European Commission Authentication Service (ECAS).
Talk to the person responsible for staff development at your school and ask them to register, if they haven’t already. They will receive a PIC number once registered, which is needed for the application.
Ask your school to complete a European Development Plan (they might already have one and they might already have funding – always worth asking!)
Your school then completes an Erasmus+ application form (KA1). The award criteria is specified in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide.
IH London’s PIC number is: 945380916. You will need this for the application.
Your school will find out directly from Erasmus+ if your funding has been granted. You then need to confirm your reserved course with us.
The latest deadline was 12 February 2019. Your school may have already applied for funding. The deadline for 2020 hasn’t yet been announced.
