The program is part of a wider flagship project of the Ministry of Culture funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Greece 2.0., has a total duration of 1040 hours and will be implemented in the period September 2024 to November 2025 in 4 courses.
Tuition is free, while half-board travel and certification application are subsidized for all, as well as accommodation subject to conditions.
The program includes 320 hours of modern distance theoretical education in the afternoons of weekdays and for this purpose laptops will be given to the trainees.
