Is your project finishing? Do you need a last minute training proposal? Or a custom one?

We’re fully prepared to accommodate last-minute proposals for online, onsite, or blended training in Barcelona and Tarragona. All our courses can be tailored to your needs—whether they relate to creativity, educational ICT, EU project management, heritage, or the arts. We only offer training in areas where we have proven expertise, ensuring the highest quality standards.

Our courses are backed by over 15 years of experience in Comenius and Erasmus+ projects. With a strong background in managing successful EU-funded initiatives at the international level, we fully understand the expectations of participants attending structured courses or short-term joint staff training events.

If your course with another provider has been cancelled, feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to provide expert advice and help you find a suitable solution.

Study Visits and Job Shadowing

We also organize study visits to primary and secondary schools, vocational education and training (VET) centres, adult education institutions, and even driving schools—either as part of a structured course or as a stand-alone activity.

Frequent questions & answers

Our courses and materials are delivered in English by default. To make the most of the learning experience and networking opportunities, we recommend that participants have at least a B1 level (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) in listening, speaking, and reading.

We follow an inclusive educational approach. Our trainers are committed to ensuring that no participant is left behind, and we use accessible design in most of our educational resources. All our venues are fully accessible for people with physical disabilities—we understand that, for instance, reaching a third floor without an elevator can be a challenge, and we’re here to support everyone’s comfort and participation.

We also take environmental sustainability seriously. We prioritize the use of recycled materials and rely heavily on digital resources during our training sessions.

Training can be offered in languages other than English upon request. In some cases, this may involve an additional fee to cover interpretation services. Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own translator.

Our true value is transparency. NO HIDDEN FEES.

3-day workshops: fixed prize of 450€ each participant including small materials, 3 coffee breaks, 2 lunches, 1 dinner and guided tour. We advise to bring your own device.

Steps to follow for registration

• Select you course. You can attend the courses with some members of your school team, but we suggest a maximum of 2-3 to keep the attendance as international as possible, because networking, share of experiences and collaborative activities is a core of our methodology. For organizational reasons, we also suggest the same number to study visits to schools.
• Book the course as soon as possible. After we receive your booking, we will send you a pre-confirmation , indicating financial arrangements, a detailed course program and deadline for confirmation. Every participant will be charged 150 € as deposit. The places are given on first-come, first-served basis.

After confirmation, we will deliver you the letter of acceptance and we strongly advice you to don’t book flights/accommodation before of the sending of the letter. You will be required the balance payment, in cash or by credit card, 24 h. before the start of training or study visits.

EducativaBCN takes no responsibility on bookings made before of the formal confirmation of the course.

Cancellations. If the participant cancels participation up to 6 weeks before the start of the course, we are charging a 5% of the final amount as cancellation fee. If the participation is cancelled up to 15 days of the start of the course, a 50% of the course amount will be charged. If cancelled any later, there will be not refund. It is possible to replace participants among courses up to the course day of start, or later for duly justified reasons.

Can you book accommodation?

All of our venues have world-class accommodation offer around, so it is really easy to find a good deal for every budget. We will suggest you some good hotels in the nearby of our venues and provide you with discount vouchers. Of course we will provide some useful advice about your stay and what to visit, and we are also ready to join you for some afterwork entertainment.

When shall I book my flights?

Please don’t book flights/accomodation until WRITTEN CONFIRMATION from our side and receival of EducativaBCN’s letter of acceptance.

What is the methodology in the classroom?

We use original, different and very creative approaches and strategies to make lessons both entertaining and of high quality. They can include collaborative teamwork, gamified learning units, project based learning, and also the old good traditional lecturing. Accesible design is always used in our educational resources to make sure that no participant is left behind.

Is it possible to bring a large group of my school’s staff?

We try to keep the groups as international as possible because the networking and the share of experiences, both formal and informal, is very important for us. Study visits are also part of our offer, but a very large number of teachers can really disturb the experience, taking authenticity away. If you intend to bring more than 3-4 teachers, please let us know.

How can I apply for Erasmus+ funding?

 

You cannot apply individually because Erasmus+ projects have a whole school approach. We can provide you custom advice and useful tips to help you to fill your school’s application, as we have a huge experience in EU projects, but your National Agency is the only institution that can provide official support and training.

Please take into account that planning a quality application might take several weeks, because your institution needs to create a EU Development Plan and plan carefully about the relevance of the application concerning EU priorities,  a quality implementation of the learnings in the institution and its impact and diffusion. The sooner you start to plan, the more possibilities of success. If you ask us for advice within 2-3 weeks prior to the deadline of submission, we would not accurately help you.

We adhere to Erasmus+ quality standards:

Quality standards for courses under Key Action 1 (learning mobility of individuals)

Information and transparency

• Advance and complete information about the course: before registration, the participants must be informed about the background and previous experience of the course provider and the involved trainer(s), the targeted public, the necessary background in relation with the learning objectives and methodologies of the course, size and composition of the course group, language, content, objectives, pedagogical approach, teaching methods and learning outcomes, as well as dates, duration, location and schedule of the activities.
• Application process: the course provider must offer a straightforward, accessible and transparent application and selection process.
• Preparation: The course provider must inform the participants in good time about necessary preparation provisions they need to accomplish, as well as a list of the equipment necessary for the course or training.
• Transparent costs: all fees necessary to participate in the course must be clearly presented to the participants before registration, together with a list of services that these fees cover. The participants must also be made aware of any optional services that need to be paid separately. The terms and conditions of participation in the course must be defined in writing.
• Changes and cancellations: in case of changes in fees, content, dates, location or schedule of the activities, the participant must be offered the possibility to cancel their participation at no extra costs and with at reasonable advance notice. Cancelation of the participation and reimbursement in case of events outside of participant’s and course provider’s control (such as natural disasters or serious transport disruptions) must be included in the terms and conditions of the course.

Content and pedagogy

• High quality teaching: the pedagogical approaches must be appropriate, up-to-date and adapted to participants’ learning needs and competence level. The course should combine theory with practical application and should include a well-designed approach to monitoring and assessment with clear feedback to participants.
• Inspiring and interactive learning: the course should trigger reflection and new perspectives for each participant. It should be engaging and interactive, it should facilitate sharing and productive dialogue between participants. The course provider must ensure that their staff members are positive, constructive, respectful, and create a supporting learning environment.
• Trustworthy, innovative and relevant content: the content of the course must be up-to-date, evidence-based, and it needs to draw on recent research and practice in the field. It should be clear how the course content relates to the course topic and how it can be used by the participants in their own context.
• Use of digital tools and blended learning: the use of digital tools is strongly recommended to enrich and complement the learning process before, during or after the physical course. Online learning activities should be carried out with an appropriate learning management system in order to blend both synchronous (all types of learning where teachers/educators and learners are in the same place and at the same time) and asynchronous learning (all types of learning that do not occur in the same place and at the same time).

European dimension

• European values and policies: the course should reflect the values of the European Union and contribute to the European policies supported by the Erasmus+ programme.
• Composition of the group and networking opportunities: the course provider should ensure that the composition of the group and the setup of the course gives participants opportunities to meet their peers from other countries. Participants should be able to share diverse practices and experiences; benefit from intercultural learning; and establish contacts with potential partners for future cooperation and exchange.

Services and facilities

• Support: before, during, and after the course, the course provider must address questions, queries and requests by participants in a timely and effective way.
• Qualified staff: teachers, trainers and speakers providing the course content must have adequate qualification, recognized and up-to-date expertise and experience to deliver the course or training curriculum. They must be able to teach and interact with a multicultural audience and must be proficient in the language of the course.
• Duration and schedule of the course: the duration of the course must be proportionate to the course objectives. A day of physical course activities must include at least five hours of learning activities (the minimum duration can be applied on average, taking into account all working days of the course). Other activities should complement the formal learning activities to enhance social, cultural and professional interactions between participants.
• Venue: the venue(s) of the course (or format in case of online sessions) must be adapted to the defined learning objectives and learning strategies  used. The venue must be appropriate for the number of involved participants, must comply with relevant health and safety standards, and must be accessible to persons with disabilities.
• Inclusion: course providers must offer their services in an inclusive way, without any type of discrimination. Particular attention must be paid to allow equal access to participants with special educational needs.
• Feedback: participants must have the opportunity to provide an assessment of the course and feedback about their experience. The feedback should be used to improve the future sessions. The course provider must also offer the possibility of complaints. Submitted complaints must be addressed in a timely, efficient, fair, and constructive manner.

Follow-up

• Continued learning: the course provider should provide guidance to the participants on further steps that they can take to follow-up and build on the outcomes of the course.
• Facilitating institutional impact: the course provider should offer guidance and materials to facilitate the transfer of acquired knowledge and competences into practice at the participants’ institutions.
• Certification of learning outcomes: certification must be provided to the participants. The certificate must include the name of the participant, short description of the course and its learning outcomes, dates, venues, the name of the course provider and the course instructor(s). The use of European recognition instruments (e.g. Europass) is strongly recommended.
