What We Do Today
The network that unites Europe’s top Academies, known for their high-quality standards, offering a diverse range of courses on virtually any topic across the whole continent!
From arts, classroom management, and languages to online teaching, Europass Teacher Academy Online offers more than 40 high-quality online courses for teachers.
A nonprofit platform developed to be the new go-to place for cooperation partnerships, planning teacher and student exchanges, and embarking on Erasmus+ projects.
Specializing in Erasmus+ projects, we offer educational mobility programs for students, including cultural activities and school visits. We provide comprehensive support for organizing and managing international student exchanges.
In 2021, the EU introduced quality standards to address issues like unclear pricing, low course content, and unreliable course dates from some providers. At Europass Teacher Academy, we had already implemented strict quality practices and controls, ensuring the highest standards were met even before these regulations were established.
