Do we have to name the course provider in a KA122 application?

The application describes your objectives and the activities that will reach them. Naming a specific course, with its dates and learning outcomes, can make the planned activity concrete. It is not a formal requirement; your national agency can tell you how much detail it expects.

Can we change the course after the grant is approved?

Plans can change during a project, as long as the activities still serve the objectives you were funded for. Agree significant changes with your national agency.

How many colleagues can go on the same course?

Since 2025, at most three participants from the same organisation can attend the same structured course (up to ten from one accredited consortium), and each participant can take part in one structured course per project.

How to describe a structured course in your Erasmus+ KA1 application

Where the course fits

How much you write about a course depends on how your organisation takes part in Erasmus+ Key Action 1:

Short-term project (KA122). You describe your objectives and the activities that will reach them in the application itself. This is where a well-described course matters most.
Accreditation (KA121). Your objectives are already set in the Erasmus Plan. Each year you request a budget, and you choose specific courses during the project; they must still serve the plan's objectives.
Consortium member. The consortium coordinator applies; you agree with them which training your staff need, and the same logic applies.

From need to course

Assessors look for a clear chain. Write it in this order, and make every link visible:

The need: what your school or organisation wants to improve, ideally with evidence (a self-evaluation, learner results, a staff survey).
The objective: what will be different, and for whom, by the end of the project.
The activity: the course, and why this topic, format and length suit the objective.
The outcomes: what participants will be able to do afterwards. Course learning outcomes help here.
Use and sharing: how participants will apply it in their classes and pass it on to colleagues.
Evaluation: how you will know it worked.

What to write about the course

The title, length in days and contact hours, and the place.
Three to five learning outcomes, in your own words and tied to your objective.
Who will go, and why them: their role, and what they will do with the training.
How the course meets the European Commission's quality standards for courses: clear information in advance, interactive methods, a certificate.
The Erasmus+ priority it supports, if any (for example inclusion, digital transformation, environment).

Every course page on this site has a short course description and learning outcomes you can adapt, under Text for your application, and our OID, E10020549, which identifies us as an organisation.

A worked example

A lower secondary school wants teachers to make their own interactive practice materials instead of relying on generic online quizzes. Its application could say:

Need: our 2025 staff survey showed that most teachers use ready-made online quizzes that do not match our curriculum, and few feel able to create their own digital materials.
Objective: by the end of the project, the teachers of the year-7 team design and use their own interactive practice materials in each subject.
Activity: two teachers attend Build Your Own Classroom Tools with AI (six days, 30 hours, Jantar – International House Split, Croatia). In this course teachers use generative AI to build their own digital learning materials without programming. Participants turn teaching needs into clear specifications, build and test interactive quizzes, games, worksheets and simple web pages with AI tools, check them for accuracy, accessibility and data protection, and publish them for their learners. The course is hands-on, ends with each participant presenting a working tool and a plan for their school, and supports the priority of digital transformation.
Use and sharing: on return, each participant runs two workshops for the year-7 team and builds a shared library of tools; we check use in classes at the end of the school year.

Note how the course description is short, and how most of the text is about the school.

Mistakes to avoid

A list of courses with no objective. A course chosen because it looks interesting, not because it answers a need.
Copying the provider's text whole. Adapt it; assessors read many identical descriptions.
Too many colleagues on one course. Since 2025, at most three from the same organisation on the same course; colleagues can take different courses in the same week.
A course outside the rules. Funded structured courses last 2 to 10 days.
No plan for afterwards. Sharing and evaluation are part of the activity, not an extra.

Checklist before you submit

Each course is linked to a named objective.
Learning outcomes are in your own words.
If you name a course, you have the provider's name and OID, the course length and its place.
No more than three participants from your organisation on the same course.
You have a plan for sharing and evaluation.
