- Higher Education Staff – professors, lecturers, doctoral students, administrators and coordinators working in Third Level Institutions
- Vocational Education and Training Staff – people working in vocational education and training (VET)
- Adult Education – teachers and staff working in the adult education sector
- Secondary School Staff – teachers, principals and staff working in secondary school education
Courses for Teachers
Atlantic Language provides education opportunities for teachers from Erasmus+ Programme & Partner countries who are part of or who would like to take part in a Key Action 1 (KA1) project. If your institution is accredited for the 2021 – 2027 Erasmus Programme we can offer ready-made courses which reflect the priorities for 2021-27.
Funding
Participation in any Erasmus course can be funded by applying through your academic institution for a grant. As the Organising or Receiving Institution, Atlantic College, will provide required documents including the Staff Mobility for Training (STT) invitation, work plan and Certificate of Participation.
