The 50 EPAS of DYPA apply the Apprenticeship system, which is the only dual system in our country, which combines theoretical and laboratory professional training at the school with apprenticeship in companies in real working conditions (on-the-job-training ).

In the school year 2023-2024, 30 high-demand specialties will operate, eight of which are thematically and cognitively enriched, in the context of the development of green and digital skills, as well as in the field of the blue economy.

As stated in the relevant announcement, the students of EPAS:

– carry out on-the-job learning with pay and insurance,

– study in modern laboratories with the necessary books and aids,

– are trained by experienced and well-qualified training staff,

– they receive a housing allowance of 240 euros per month, as well as a food allowance of 9 euros per day, with expanded income criteria,

– are entitled to study leave, up to 30 days, with wages,

– they are entitled to postponement of conscription.

In addition to the 50 EPAS, seven Experimental EPAS operate with three specializations in the field of tourism and hospitality, where innovative professional training programs are implemented in the following cities: Athens, Heraklion, Rhodes, Mytilini, Patras, Thessaloniki and Corfu.

For the operation of PEPAS, DYPA collaborates with the Hellenic-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Institute of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises (INSETE), which have extensive experience in the field of professional education and tourism. PEPAS students carry out apprenticeships with pay and insurance in large 4 or 5 star hotel companies.
