The DYPA has been implementing the Apprenticeship system since 1952, which is the unique dual system in our country that combines theoretical and laboratory professional education at the School with the learning program in a workplace, in real working conditions (on-the-job-training). The goal is for the student to acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge, but also professional experience in the labor market.

EPAS students in the morning carry out apprenticeships in private or public sector companies in positions related to their specialty, while in the afternoon they attend theoretical and laboratory courses at the school.
