The course will provide an academic certificate and ECTS points. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool of the European Higher Education Area for making studies and courses more transparent. It helps students to move between countries and to have their academic qualifications and study periods abroad recognised by the state systems.

Professor Katerina T. Frantzi coordinator of the course and ECU President Zurab Asmaiparashvili signed the agreement that opens the door for the recognition of academic qualifications to teach chess in schools.
