The training programme is made up of five successive thematic courses, all of which are taught remotely:

- Course 1: Educational Planning Today - 5 weeks

- Course 3: Educational policy strategies: national and international debates - 4 weeks

Each year, the training ends with an optional week-long study trip to a Latin American country, structured around lectures, participatory workshops, and observational visits to see the host country's education system in action.
