Language Courses for Teachers

Comenius and Grundvig provide a European window of opportunity in staff training by enabling teachers and other staff involved in education to take part in training courses abroad.

"I liked the efficiency of application process - and ease!"

An added benefit is that courses are multi-national. This brings further opportunities for the exchange of ideas and approaches with the possibility of finding partners for further international collaboration. There is a wide range of professional development courses on offer in Spanish, French, German, English, Italian and Portuguese. Most teachers go for 1 to 4 weeks. If you work for adult education rather than a school please inform us as funding is different.
