Standing before a generous cheeseboard filled with tempting options can feel both exciting and a little overwhelming. The same is true when exploring the expanding range of learning opportunities offered by the EAIE Academy. With new formats and hot topics, deciding where to begin your professional development journey can feel a bit like deciding what to eat first. 

Think of this blog as your guide to navigate the Academy’s offerings and select the learning experiences that best support your growth in international education. 

On-demand: Build your foundation

Consider On-demand courses as your starting point — the cracker that supports everything else on your professional development plate. These introductory courses are ideal for those new to international education, as well as experienced professionals stepping into new roles or with limited experience in specific areas. 

Hosted on the EAIE’s new Learning Management System (LMS), each course blends presentations, quizzes and assessments to create an engaging, interactive experience. With complete flexibility to learn anytime and anywhere, you can progress at your own pace. Once purchased, you’ll have three months to complete the course, making it easy to fit learning around your schedule. 

Online: Deepen your skills from anywhere

Once you’ve established your foundation, it’s time to add the cheese, the richer, more substantial knowledge that builds on what you already know. EAIE Academy Online courses are delivered live by expert trainers over two non-consecutive half days, giving you time to reflect and apply what you’ve learnt between sessions. 

These courses focus on the practical skills needed to navigate the evolving challenges of the sector. Through interactive discussions, group work and real-time feedback, you’ll gain actionable insights you can immediately bring back to your institution. 

Classroom: Expand your expertise together

Ready to enhance your palate even further? The Academy Classroom format brings you together with peers in Amsterdam for two days of immersive, in-person learning. Think of this as adding chutneys or jams, textures and new flavours to your cheeseboard, a more layered experience. 

Guided by experienced EAIE trainers, you’ll work through hands-on exercises, case studies and collaborative activities that deepen your understanding of complex topics. The intimate setting also offers valuable opportunities to network, exchange ideas and build lasting professional connections. 

Workshop: Intensify your learning at the EAIE Conference 

If you’ve explored the full cheeseboard and are eager for more, EAIE Conference Workshops offer a concentrated boost to your expertise. These full- or half-day sessions, led by seasoned facilitators from the community, dive into timely and relevant topics that complement your conference experience. 

Workshops provide a dynamic environment for active learning, peer exchange and practical skill-building — perfect for professionals looking to make the most of their time at the Conference. 

Customised: Tailored training for your team

Looking for something even more specific to your institution’s needs? EAIE Academy Customised courses bring expert trainers directly to your organisation. These tailor-made programmes are designed in collaboration with you to address your unique challenges, goals and context. 

Whether you’re seeking to upskill a department, align practices across teams, or introduce new competencies, customised training ensures your staff receive targeted, relevant, and impactful professional development.

 

By exploring these rich and varied EAIE Academy offerings, you can curate a professional development journey as thoughtfully balanced and satisfying as the perfect cheeseboard, tailored to your growth in international education.
