Courses for Teachers and Trainers
The project developed and delivered five high-quality courses consisting of online preparatory sessions and a three-day in-person event (the BaTT Forum). The online component of each course was designed in accordance with the quality standards for Erasmus+ individual courses and was provided prior to the in-person event. Its purpose was to equip participants with the necessary background knowledge, including relevant English terminology, to fully understand the content presented during the forum.
All courses were made available to participants through the Automotive Skills Alliance Learning Platform.
