EU Erasmus+ funding for teachers of English: how to apply

Over the years, ELC has trained 1000s of overseas teachers, many of whom received funding from the EU through the Lifelong Learning Programme. All the teachers’ courses at ELC are suitable for EU Erasmus+ funding under the Erasmus+ Programme. See our guide below.

The UK is no longer participating in Erasmus+ post-Brexit. It may still be possible to use Erasmus+ funding granted under the previous round or in a limited number of situations. Please contact your National Agency for exact details.

Eligible countries

Teachers from the following countries are eligible for EU Erasmus+ funding:

  • any EU country
  • Iceland
  • Liechtenstein
  • Macedonia
  • Norway
  • Switzerland
  • Turkey

You need to be working for a school, college or educational institution (or private school in some countries).

Applying for EU Erasmus+ funding

  • Your school or organisation must be registered on the European Commission’s Education Platform.
  • When your school or organisation has registered, it will be given a PIC number (Personal Identification Number) which is needed to apply for funding. (The English Language Centre’s PIC number is 943968790 and our OID number is E10150503).
  • Once your school has a PIC number:
    1. Your school must submit an Erasmus + application form which is available from your National Agency.
    2. When you have had a funding decision, your school needs to contact us to let us know if you will attend a course or not.
    3. We will normally require a £250 deposit or full fees to confirm your place on the course.
