English Language Course for Teachers and Education Staff

Name: English Language Course for Teachers and Education Staff
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

A prerequisite of “B1 or above” quietly excludes exactly the teachers who’d benefit most from a foundational English course — the ones who avoid speaking up in the staffroom because their English isn’t there yet. This course is built for them, not around them.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), published by the Council of Europe in 2001, gives every session its level markers — participants work from real A1 foundations on Day 1 through A1–A2 applied practice by Day 4, with content adapted to each group’s actual starting point rather than an assumed one.

Participants build core grammar and everyday expressions early in the week, move into classroom and staffroom communication strategies specific to working in an international teaching environment, then spend the final days turning what they’ve learned into their own teaching materials and practising confidence-building exercises.

A teacher who arrives at A1 leaves with foundational skills tested in front of the group — not a certificate implying a fluency the week didn’t actually deliver.

Methodology

Interactive, Activity-Based Learning

Interactive lessons, hands-on activities, gamification and role-play are used throughout to build real English competence, not just grammar theory.

Tailored to the Group's Level

Content is adapted to participants' actual level and needs, from A1-A2 foundations to CLIL-focused strategies for language teachers.

Practice Beyond the Classroom

Outdoor activities and local excursions at the host city add informal, real-world opportunities to practise language and intercultural exchange.

What you'll take home

Engage confidently in basic English conversation and comprehension in daily life.

Understand simple written texts and produce clearer written English.

Create and adapt English-language teaching materials for the classroom.

Apply new strategies and AI-based tools to teach English more effectively.

Please note: sessions run from 09:30 to 15:00, Monday to Friday, with a break for lunch. Timings can shift a little to suit the venue and the group. If you'd like a specific topic covered, let us know when you apply — the confirmed day-by-day schedule is sent to registered participants ahead of the course.

Certificate: we issue the Certificate of Attendance to everyone who's present for at least 80% of the course — tracked with the daily sign-in sheet (see Certificate & assessment).

Equipment: a few of our courses ask participants to bring a laptop — check the day-by-day programme above, or ask us if you're not sure.

Need a formal invoice or proforma for your school's records? Ask us — we issue official invoices with the participant's name and course details.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

English Language Course for Teachers and Education Staff · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Teacher Training & Classroom Management course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.

After the course

Participants will receive their certificates (Certificate of Attendance + Europass).

Participants will complete a general course evaluation and event survey.

Participants will receive course materials, videos, photos, and PDF documents in both digital and print formats.

Follow-up support: an email group is created for idea exchange, self-evaluation materials are provided, and participants receive a follow-up check-in after 3 months to discuss progress on using their improved English and new teaching strategies in the classroom.

Frequently asked

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, both certificates (attendance + Europass Mobility) and a half-day guided tour of the host city with a local guide. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

No — this course itself teaches English starting from A1 level. Content is adapted to each group's actual starting point, from foundational grammar through to CLIL-focused strategies for teachers already using English in class. The standard "B1 or above" note elsewhere on this site describes our other courses, which are taught in English rather than teaching it.
