Definition of adult learners
Adult learner
- Any person over the age of 18 who has completed their initial education/training or no longer participates in initial education or training and participates in non-vocational continuing education (formal, non-formal or informal learning). It also concerns people over the age of 18, provided that there are educational opportunities offered to them, or people who return to the education system in search of a second chance in education.
Eligible Organisations
Organisation accreditation
Erasmus Accreditation is a quality certification tool for organisations/schools that enables continuous utilisation of the programme by following simplified procedures throughout the programming period. The application for Accreditation is evaluated qualitatively during its submission, and, if the required criteria are met, the organisation may apply for funding every year for the implementation of its pursued objectives. Applicants for Erasmus accreditation must have at least two years of experience in the field.
Types of Accreditations:
*It is not possible to apply for both types of Accreditation in the same field.
Specific parameters are taken into account when allocating funds to accredited organisations. More information
