Since 1952 DYPA implements the Apprenticeship scheme, a dual educational system in Greece which combines the theoretical and laboratory learning in the School through the training in actual work places in the morning and theoretical courses in the afternoon (on-the-job-training). Aim of the programme is to enable the students to acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge as well as the professional experience in the labour market.
EPAS students carry out their apprenticeship in the morning in private or public sector businesses in their chosen field of study/ specialty while in the afternoon they attend theoretical and laboratory courses.
Students in the DYPA EPAS Schools:
- participate in an education course in the workplace with remuneration and insurance
