How Erasmus+ KA1 works

Zero Cost for the Individual Teacher

The grant goes to your school, not the individual. Your school applies once a year and receives a budget that covers everything.

01

Your School Applies for a KA1 Grant

The Erasmus+ coordinator submits a mobility project to your National Agency — typically in February each year. The application lists which staff will travel and where.

Annual deadline: February
02

Grant Approved in 2–3 Months

Your school receives a lump-sum covering course fees (up to €80/day), travel by distance band, accommodation and a daily individual allowance.

Typical value: €1,500–€2,500 per teacher
03

Book Your Course & Come to Italy

Choose a course and date, register online. We issue Europass Mobility certificates and support you through the post-mobility reporting process.

Europass certificate included

Why Italy

No Country in the World Teaches Like Italy

Italy is not just a backdrop — it is the curriculum itself. These are facts no other Erasmus+ provider can claim.

58
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
More than any other country on Earth. Three of our four cities — Mantova, Firenze and the greater Po Valley — are UNESCO-listed.
3,000+
Museums & Cultural Institutions
Italy has more museums per capita than any nation. Our courses in Firenze take place steps from the Uffizi, the Accademia and Palazzo Vecchio.
50
Years of Academic Excellence
Built on a university founded in 1975 — 50 years of academic excellence in language and education — plus 15 years of international university partnerships with US-accredited syllabi.
4
Iconic Cities, One Provider
Milano for innovation. Torino for culture. Mantova for UNESCO heritage. Firenze all year. No other Italian KA1 provider covers all four.
100%
Grant Covered — Zero Cost to Schools
Course fee, travel, accommodation, daily allowance — all covered by your Erasmus+ KA1 grant. Your school pays nothing.
University-Grade Syllabi
Our curricula are developed to international university accreditation standards — the same rigour applied to our US Study Abroad partners. Unique in the KA1 market.
