Methodology

European Training Institute's teaching methods are built on 7 pillars:

Immersion in real-life Public Affairs
Participants on all courses are immersed in EU environment through visits to the Institutions, lobbying case-studies, role-play exercises, working groups, interviews and press conferences.
Practical approach
By applying a practical approach, ETI's trainers share with our participants their expertise and experiences.
An exceptional Faculty
Our approximately 150 visiting lecturers are drawn from senior EU officials, experienced Brussels PA practitioners, European information specialists and academics from prominent European universities. The full-time presence of a Course Director facilitates interaction within the group and with lecturers.
Permanent interaction
All sessions are delivered in a studious yet relaxed atmosphere, where interactivity is key to the course's delivery.
International dimension
As part of their EU immersion, participants experience a diversity of languages, cultures and nationalities: among the lecturers, other students and the ETI staff.
A unique range of seminars
From introductions to EU affairs (Brussels in a Day, Brussels Insight), via the 6-day Intensive Programme (Working with the EU), a post-Enlargement catch-up module, Master Classes on lobbying skills and a top-flight programme on corporate strategy, all the way through to Customised Programmes, Summer Schools, personal coaching and, in the very near future, E-learning.
Synergy with a leading European press agency
There can be no sucess in public affairs without information monitoring and no effective lobbying without articulate communication. Europe Information Service (EIS), the publisher of europe information (formerly european report), brings these insights to its sister-company, the European Training Institute.
