First EU4Digital Academy digital skills course is open for all Eastern Partnership countries on atingi

November 27, 2024

EU4Digital Facility invites citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to register for the first course available in the new EU4Digital Academy digital learning programme. The user-friendly ‘eCommerce in EU Marketplaces’ online course is now available on atingi and  useful for learners who have no prior knowledge about eCommerce and want to start their journey, or who are already selling products online in their own country but who want to also sell in the European Union (EU).

The ‘eCommerce in EU Marketplaces’ course materials explain what the major EU eCommerce marketplaces are, how to select the most suitable marketplace, how to register and start selling, and how to navigate EU rules such as VAT and customs. Each course package will be tailored to a specific country and produced in the corresponding national language. The first course to roll out is specific to each country and is available in English and national languages.

In 2025 courses on ‘Digital Marketing’ and ‘Digitalisation of Business’ are planned to be launched on the atingi platform.
