For schools and teachers, Erasmus+ means access to fully or partially funded professional development, student exchanges, and international collaboration — with the EU covering travel, accommodation, course fees, and more.

How Erasmus+ Funding Works

Three steps from application to arrival

Step 1

Your School Applies

Schools and educational organisations apply for Erasmus+ accreditation or a short-term project with their National Agency. Funding is awarded based on a project plan.

Step 2

Choose Your Activity

Teacher training courses (KA1), student group mobilities (KA122), youth exchanges (KA152) — the grant covers travel, accommodation, course fees, and daily allowances.

Step 3

EUTA Handles the Rest

We provide the course or programme, all required documentation, accommodation arrangements, and on-the-ground support in Benalmádena, Spain.

Short-Term Student Mobility

For schools (no accreditation needed)

  • Project-based funding (single application)
  • Group mobility for students aged 12-19
  • Covers programme, travel, accommodation, meals

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Erasmus+ and who can participate?

Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme for education, training, youth, and sport with a budget of over €26 billion for 2021–2027. Teachers, school staff, and students from EU member states and Erasmus+ programme countries can participate. Schools need Erasmus+ accreditation or a short-term project grant to send participants.

How much funding can I get through Erasmus+?

Funding amounts depend on the Key Action and your country. Teachers attending KA1 courses typically receive 80–100% coverage of course fees, travel, and accommodation. School group mobilities (KA122/KA152) receive grants based on group size and destination. Contact your National Agency for exact figures.

Does my school need to be accredited?

Schools can either hold Erasmus+ accreditation (for ongoing access to funding) or apply for a short-term project (KA122) without accreditation. Accredited schools benefit from simplified annual funding requests, while short-term projects are ideal for schools new to Erasmus+. Learn more about school funding options.

What’s the difference between KA1, KA122, and KA152?

KA1 funds individual teacher and staff training abroad. KA122 funds short-term student group mobility projects for schools. KA152 funds youth exchange projects bringing young people from different countries together. Learn about KA1 for teachers or KA122/KA152 for schools.

How does EUTA help with the Erasmus+ process?

We provide Erasmus+-eligible courses and programmes, pre-trip documentation (Learning Agreements, daily programmes, invoices), accommodation arrangements, on-site coordination, and post-trip certificates including Europass Mobility documents. We don’t submit the application — your school handles that with their National Agency.

When should I start planning?

Erasmus+ application rounds typically open in autumn with deadlines in February–March. Plan 6–12 months ahead to allow time for application, approval, and logistics. However, you can contact us anytime for guidance — we’re happy to help you prepare well in advance.

Can I attend a course even without Erasmus+ funding?

Yes — all EUTA courses and programmes are open to self-funded participants too. Many teachers and schools choose to attend without Erasmus+ funding, paying directly. See our teacher courses or student programmes for pricing.
