PEPAS operates in seven cities (Athens, Thessaloniki, Corfu, Crete, Mytilini, Patras and Rhodes) and applies the dual education system, which combines theoretical and laboratory professional education at the School with the workplace learning program in real working conditions (on-the-job-training). The aim is for the trainee to acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge, but also the professional experience in the labor market.
The theoretical part is implemented in PEPAS from November to April, while the apprenticeship in companies takes place from May to October with 8 hours a day, five days a week.
The pay of the students, during the apprenticeship in the companies, amounts to 176.10 euros per week.
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. The collaboration guarantees placement in apprenticeships in distinguished businesses in the tourism sector (4* and 5* hotels), but also strengthens the prospect of professional rehabilitation, after completing the studies.
