Courses for Teachers and Managers

Merganser runs short courses in the UK for teachers from other countries.  We are excited to announce that we will be reintroducing a full programme of courses from 2027, after the UK has rejoined the Erasmus+ scheme.  Members of the Merganser team have managed Erasmus+ courses for over thirty years.

We can also offer courses where teachers are self-funded or funded by the education authority or school.


We run a wide variety of courses for teachers and education managers. These may include, for example:

  • Education leadership
  • Curriculum management
  • Special education needs
  • Heritage and Culture
  • Environmental Education
  • Subject Specific Courses


Courses enable professionals to review their own experience in an international context, and to learn new approaches to their work.


We met nice, engaged and passionate teachers both in the schools and within the group.

Our courses usually take place in the historic City of Bath in the heart of the West of England. Only an hour and a half from central London by fast train, and with London Heathrow and Bristol Airports nearby, Bath offers a historic experience unique in Western Europe. The Romans made Bath a key centre of their Empire for three hundred years and the Roman Baths are an amazing example of their expertise.  From later in history, the buildings of the Georgian period (in the 18th century) are uniquely preserved in the city.

With a wide range of museums, cafes and restaurants, together with theatres and shops, there is much to experience outside the course! A good range of hotel and other accommodation is available, from high end luxury to more economic but still very comfortable locations.

Courses last from three or four days to two weeks. Our courses are staffed by professionals with many years’ experience and the courses usually include experience in local schools.  A friendly welcoming approach is central to our offer.

I especially liked the interesting conversations in English about schooling, aims, politics etc. The school visits were also very interesting.
