Staff training is an option for non-teaching staff who want to take part in the Erasmus+ programme. Within the broad objectives of staff training, it encompasses things such as short secondments, job-shadowing and study visits.
The minimum duration of non teaching staff mobility must be for a period of two working days up to a maximum of five working days. Before the mobility commences staff must complete British Council Mobility and Grant Agreement forms and a Cardiff Met overseas travel form. Prior to departure a full training programme must be agreed formally by the home and host HEI.
There must be documentary evidence of the duration of the mobility period. At the end of each training period abroad the host must confirm the duration of stay.
