Created on 1st July 1994, the Portuguese Association of Professional Agricultural Schools – APEPA, represents a group of 15 professional schools that offer agricultural training, among other things. These schools are secondary education institutions and their main objective is to train intermediate technicians, with a qualification equivalent to the 12th year of schooling and a Level III EU professional qualification.

As an associate partner of ENNEPlus, APEPA will therefore contribute to the dissemination of the project’s objectives and results among 15 member schools, offering a diverse range of training, from agriculture to agro-industries, including forestry and, more recently, training linked to rural activities such as tourism, handicrafts, hunting and traditional construction.
