Certified Trainings available

Our certified trainings are designed mainly for professionals working in Interreg programmes (e.g. Joint Secretariats, Managing Authorities, Monitoring Committees, National Contact Points, Controllers, etc). They provide in-depth learning on Interreg-related topics, with live interaction with trainers online, delivered in cohorts over a set period.  We offer two types of certified trainings: fully online, or online with a mandatory in-person meeting as part of the training. Our training programmes typically span around 4 weeks, requiring up to 20 hours of commitment. They’re flexible but make sure to be available for the mandatory dates. Once you've successfully completed a training, you are rewarded with a certificate. Registration opens during specific periods announced for each training.
