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.
