100% EU-funded training for European educators in Cyprus, Greece, Lithuania & Poland
Professional Development for the Backbone of Education
Administrative staff keep schools running—you deserve Erasmus+ professional development too. Specialized courses in digital administration, communication, EU education systems, and international networking. Cyprus, Greece, and Lithuania locations. Fully funded by Erasmus+ KA1 Staff Mobility.
Teachers aren't the only education professionals benefiting from Erasmus+ KA1. Administrative staff—secretaries, office managers, registrars, administrative assistants—are equally eligible for EU-funded international training. Yet many don't know this opportunity exists.
Erasmus+ KA1 Staff Mobility explicitly includes administrative and support staff working in educational institutions. This means:
Administrative staff face unique professional development needs rarely addressed by domestic training:
💡 Real Administrative Staff Experience
"I'd been our school secretary for 12 years, never imagining Erasmus+ was for me—I thought it was only teachers. When our principal suggested I attend digital administration training in Cyprus, I was nervous but excited. That week transformed how I see my role. I learned modern systems, met secretaries from 8 countries sharing solutions, and returned with 15 new ideas implemented within months. Plus, I finally felt professionally valued."— Helena, Polish secondary school secretary, October 2025
The process differs slightly from teacher mobility but remains straightforward:
Your school must have Erasmus+ accreditation or participate in a consortium. Most schools with Erasmus programs include administrative staff mobility in their plans. Ask your principal or Erasmus+ coordinator if your school qualifies. If not accredited, schools can apply—or you can suggest joining a consortium.Learn about accreditation →
Successful applications link training to professional needs. Examples: "Our school digitizing records—need digital administration training," or "Increasing international student enrollment—need intercultural communication skills," or "Managing EU project budgets—need EU administration understanding."
Select training matching your needs. Common choices: Digital Skills, Communication in Education, EU Education Systems, Project Management. Courses typically 5-7 days, perfect for school schedules.
Applications submitted by schools, not individuals. Work with your Erasmus+ coordinator to include your mobility in school's application. Provide clear justification linking training to school development goals. Success rate high when well-justified.
Once approved, Erasmus+ covers everything
