Erasmus+ Teacher Training Courses in the UK (From 2027)
The UK is expected to rejoin the Erasmus+ programme, meaning ELT professionals from across Europe will once again be able to access Erasmus+ staff mobility funding for teacher training courses in the UK from 1 January 2027.
For more than 25 years, NILE welcomed thousands of Erasmus+-funded course participants until the UK left the scheme in 2021. With values that align closely with the core principles of the Erasmus+ programme - particularly in the areas of international collaboration and exchange, innovation in teaching and learning, and lifelong learning and professional growth – we’re excited to open our doors to teachers from across Europe once again.
Whilst Erasmus+ and the UK Government are yet to reveal definitive information and instructions, here’s what we know so far.
Why Choose NILE for Erasmus+ Teacher Training?
NILE is one of the UK’s leading centres for English Language Teaching (ELT) teacher training and professional development. Many of our courses are suitable for Erasmus+ staff mobility projects.
Teachers who join NILE programmes benefit from:
- Expert trainers with extensive ELT and teacher training experience
- Practical, interactive classroom-focused training
- Collaboration and networking with teachers from around the world
- An immersive British cultural experience in the historic city of Norwich
Our courses combine academic expertise, practical application and international collaboration, making them ideal for educators seeking meaningful professional development through Erasmus+.

As well as open-enrolment options for individuals in July and August, NILE offers expertly designed bespoke courses, for groups of 10 or more, year-round. We are committed to meeting all Erasmus+ funding criteria and work closely with institutions to ensure that courses align with the needs and requirements of the group, ensuring maximum relevance, impact and value.
Erasmus+ Eligible Training Areas
NILE offers a wide range of teacher training courses suitable for Erasmus+ mobility funding, including:
- Teacher Training & Professional Development: Courses for English language teachers working in primary, secondary and adult education contexts.

Planning for Erasmus+ Teacher Mobility Funding
Applications for Erasmus+ staff mobility funding are made by schools, universities and education organisations, rather than individual teachers. Although the UK is expected to participate again from 2027, institutions can begin planning now by:
- Identifying professional development needs for staff
- Exploring Erasmus+ mobility projects
- Partnering with experienced training providers such as NILE
