This program has been financed with the suport of the European

Commission through EACEA

(Educational Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency)

The ETCS project is based on a very interesting methodology and on an innovative distance learning practice, using online courses, and a webcam when communicating with a coach or master coach.

It has benefitted from the cooperation of 11 partners representing 7 European countries (RO, BG, ES, SL, DE, EL and UK). Its results might encourage Life Long Learning for coaches and trainers as well as more innovations (after an “Ethical code ” and a “technical preparation” to video- conferences principles).
