The European Training Platform (ETP) is a search tool for justice professionals, who want to train themselves in any practice area of EU law or related matters.
On the ETP, justice professionals can find self-learning materials on a great variety of EU law practice areas and related topics, as well as links to training providers' homepages and course catalogues.
Recognised training providers and partners inform potential trainees about their training activities and share high-quality self-learning materials on the ETP. The European Commission and EU agencies also contribute to the platform with ready-to-use self-learning materials or handbooks, also produced thanks to EU financial support.

What's new
The 2024 European Commission project ‘CJEU Hearings’ Recording as a Judicial Training Tool’ has been published!
This project has been financed by the European Commission to assist and support practitioners in their work.
There are a million lawyers in the EU and 120 thousand judges and prosecutors. Some have never seen the inside of the Court of Justice. This is why the Commission and the Court jointly developed this concept to take you on a virtual journey.
In the six videos, you travel from the cloakroom, where you hang your things before entering into a courtroom, to hearings in the Court of Justice; via explanations of how cases make their way to the Court. You see:
- How the Court runs day-to-day, with interviews from the ‘who’s who’ of the Court: Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Advocates General, Registras and former Judges.
- How cases are discussed during the weekly meeting.
- How important the job of interpreters is.
In sum, the use of the CJEU hearings recordings provides valuable material for initial and in-service training of justice professionals, both at national and European level. With these videos you have an expert guide and we would like to see it used as much as possible.
Here, we are pleased to present the six training videos on the CJEU as an outcome of the project and we strongly encourage the use of the videos as training tools, as well as their dissemination as a self-learning tool for justice professionals. more...
