Our Trainers & Facilitators
Quality matters! At EIAPD, we are committed to ensuring that every participant enjoys a high-quality experience in our workshops. That’s why we hold all our trainers to the highest standards of expertise and professionalism.
Although trainers independently design their workshops, we take the following steps to guarantee quality:
- Every workshop is thoroughly evaluated to ensure it meets our high standards.
- Our team is available 24/7 to address any issues that may arise.
- Trainers must provide at least four excellent external evaluations annually from universities or companies.
- All workshops are designed to align with Erasmus+ requirements.
When you attend an EIAPD training, you can feel confident that your facilitator is not only an expert in their field but also an outstanding trainer committed to your professional growth.
