Marianao's Erasmus Accreditation
Marianao center will be able to develop KA121 Projects after having submitted in October 2021 the application to be accredited with a KA120 project.
The KA120 accreditation is a tool that ensures the capacity of institutions in the development of high quality mobility activities that serve for the improvement of the organization itself.
To be accredited, organizations must design a structured and long-term plan, called the Erasmus Plan, and all activities must comply with Erasmus quality standards. The Marianao center designed this Erasmus Plan that was approved by the National agency SEPIE and this accreditation2021-1-ES01-KA120-VET-000043284 will last 5 years, until 2027.
The accreditation gives access to KA121 projects, so that the centers that have received it can permanently participate in Erasmus projects for VET courses with these type of projects.

Projecte Erasmus 2025-1-ES01-KA121-VET-000338261
During this Erasmus stay, small groups of Spanish and Austrian students will work. The aim of the project is for students to think like a real company and improve the quality of customer service through technological solutions. It is not just about using technology, but also:
- understanding the customer,
- detecting a real problem,
- and proposing a clear, useful and realistic solution.
Each group must create a proposal to improve customer service for a company or service, explaining:
- what type of customer it has,
- what problem it has,
- how it is currently served,
- and how technology can improve this service.
At the end of the project, the proposal must be presented to the other groups.
