Information on the funding levels for In-Service Training activity starting between 1 May 2012 and 30 April 2013

Comenius In-Service Training grants combine flat-rate allowances with allowances based on real costs. Any course or seminar fee will be supported based upon your actual expenditure. However, your travel and living costs will be supported by a flat rate allowance determined by the duration of your training and the country in which the activity takes place.

In addition you can apply for a flat rate allowance to support linguistic preparation for the training activity

The combination of these allowances cannot however exceed the maximum grant rates set below:

Duration of training activity
