CFA CFPPA DE LA GIRONDE - AGROCAMPUS 33

What CFA CFPPA DE LA GIRONDE - AGROCAMPUS 33 does

CFA CFPPA de la Gironde - AgroCampus 33 is a public agricultural education institution operating as a constituent of EPLEFPA Bordeaux Gironde, a governmental body under the French Ministry of Agriculture. It delivers a dual-track training model: the CDFA (Centre de Formation d'Apprentis) handles apprenticeship contracts for ages 16-29 (with extensions for RQTH holders and others), while the CFPPA (Centre de Formation Professionnelle et de Promotion Agricoles) provides continuing education for job seekers, employees, and agricultural operators. Programs span CAP/BPA through BTSA level across 7 sites in Gironde (Blanquefort, Bommes La Tour Blanche, La Réole, Le Teich, Latresne, Montagne, Pugnac), covering viticulture-oenology, landscaping, animal health, agroequipment, equine, fisheries, livestock, and personal services. The institution trains hundreds of apprentices per year and serves as the department's primary agricultural vocational pathway, with more than 12% of apprentices holding RQTH disability recognition and Handi'Accueillants accessibility certification across all sites since 2022.

The core technology stack is standard educational infrastructure rather than proprietary platform: Net Ypareo ERP for learner management (attendance, evaluation, progression, scheduling, company visits), Moodle LMS, Google Suite Education, Educagrinet resources, and a scenario server for digital course creation. Each site operates homogeneous digital environments with WiFi, computer labs, projectors, and Chromebook-equipped teachers. Online pre-registration via the website (cdfacfppa33.com) is integrated with the ERP. The Agrimentor Version 2 program is a structured, internally developed approach to detecting at-risk apprentices and preventing contract rupture, deployed on 4 of 7 sites. Digital outreach modernization (Glide app, virtual open days, individual video conferences) was funded through the 2021-2022 @grodéveloppeur 2.0 European Social Fund project.

The business model is public-sector funding-driven, not commercial. Apprentice training costs are covered by host employers and/or OCAPIAT (the primary OPCO), with co-funding from the Conseil Régional de Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Continuing education is financed through France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi), Vivea (agricultural entrepreneurs), AKTO (service sector employees), the Conseil Régional, or self-pay, on a pay-as-you-go basis for catalog courses and bespoke pricing for in-company training. Pricing for certification courses (Certiphyto, CACES, SST, ACACED) follows OPCO catalog or self-financing. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (a dedicated team prospecting host companies for apprenticeship contracts), event-driven outreach (forums, salons, European mobility fairs, virtual open days), and channel partnerships with OPCOs, France Travail, AGEFIPH, FIPHFP, and Erasmus+. There is no private ownership, no venture funding, and no publicly disclosed revenue; the institution is governed as a French public-sector educational establishment with Jean-Pierre Rabeyrin as Director of Publication.

Others

• Aventure du Vivant / MAASA: National French initiative under the Ministry of Agriculture promoting agricultural careers and training, of which CDFA-CFPPA is a partner.

Operates at a higher academic level (engineering degree) but overlaps in agricultural sector training, talent pipelines, and Bordeaux-region employer relationships.
