Our Live eCourses

Five things about our live e-Courses

1. Our eCourses are mainly self-paced based on recordings of live sessions but also followed with a live Q&A session  within a month after your registration. 
Most of our  our e-Courses are self-paced based on recordings of live sessions but also followed with a live Q&A session  within a month after your registration. You have life-time access to the training material and during the live Q&A session at a fixed time after your registration you will have the chance to discuss in real-time with the trainer your individual needs/questions or further actions for applying the acquired knowledge.  Therefore, you can always follow any eCourse at your own pace and time availability. You will have life-time access to whole recordings and training material.
2. Occasionally, we offer courses taking place in real time but remotely via zoom
Sometimes we might organise a workshop at a fixed date taking place in real time but remotely via zoom or physically. In that case these courses are announced at the home page of our funding expert academy. 
3. 100% satisfaction guarantee
​We are the only training organisation that our approach is based on results and not on effort. We are so confident of the high value of our live eCourses that we personally guarantee on their quality, effectiveness and distinct value. In case, after our training, you  believe you haven't managed to experience the transformation we promise you, then we will return the whole the course fee !! That confident we are on the quality of our training and the transformation experience we can create! Who else can do that!!?
4. Specialisation Certificate by a world-wide recognised vocational award body
Due to the high quality of our live eCourses, we are the only organisation that all our eCourses lead to the award of a specialisation certificate in EU funds issued by City & Guilds/ILM, the world-wide recognised  vocational award body. Such specialisation certificate is very important for researchers and professionals that wish to extend their career opportunities or wish to apply for individual grants such as ERC or MSCA Individual Fellowship for justifying their leadership and management skills. Also it is necessary for organisations (especially new in EU funds) that wish to demonstrate their operational capacity and have some of their staff awarded this specialisation certificate.
5. Great Bonuses and extra offers
Our live eCourses are by far the best value for money since they offer not only life-time access to all the recordings and to the training content, but also access to a vast set of extra offers and bonuses of total value 10 times more than the participation fee. 
6. Compact and up to the point with acquired knowledge immediately applicable
Forget those trainings that are just re-iterating public info or give you just a snap-shot of what you need to know or they need to take a lot of your time and resources. All our live e-Courses are structured in such a way that in a few hours of training (from 6 to 16 hours) in an engaging way, will give you the full recipe that you need to apply for mastering the game. Our trainer, Nikolaos Floratos with 24+ years experience in EU funds and research, 18+ as EC expert and evaluator, 12 years as a trainer/coach and a PhD on student engagement and online courses is the best person by far in making you master complex things in an effective, quick and entertaining way.
