Training of trainers network (TTnet)

The TTnet network was established by Cedefop in 1998 as a pan-European forum for key players and decision-makers involved in the training and professional development of vocational teachers and trainers.

In agreement with the European Commission, TTnet was discontinued in 2011 and its activities were taken over by the Thematic working group on professional development of trainers in VET.
