What CFA-CFPPA65 does

CFA-CFPPA 65 (Centre de Formation d'Apprentis — Centre de Formation Professionnelle et de Promotion Agricole des Hautes-Pyrénées) is a public vocational training institution operating under the French Ministry of Agriculture (MASAF) and parent body EPLEFPA de Vic-en-Bigorre. It delivers agricultural and forestry diploma-level training through three sites in the Hautes-Pyrénées department: the CFPPA headquarters in Lannemezan, the CFA headquarters at the Campus Agricole Jean Monnet in Vic-en-Bigorre, and the Établissement Adriana in Tarbes. It serves approximately 135 apprentices and 500 trainees per year, with curricula spanning CAPa, BP, BPA, CS, and BTSA levels across landscaping, horticulture, agriculture, forestry, pastoralism (transhumance shepherding), and waterway management (GEMAPI).

The institution delivers training through three pathways — apprenticeship (alternance), continuing professional education (formation continue), and short courses (formation courte) — supported by an in-house NetYParéo digital portal for candidate registration and tracking, digitized distance-learning materials, and a YouTube video library for tutorial content. Programs combine center-based instruction with enterprise-based practical training across a network of approximately 300 partner enterprises. Outcomes tracked include 79–93% job insertion rates and 67–96% beneficiary satisfaction depending on program.

The institution is funded entirely through public sources: OPCO (opérateurs de compétences) and CNFPT for apprenticeship contracts, Region Occitanie and France Travail for job-seeker training, CPF/VIVEA/OCAPIAT for individual and sector-specific funding, and the Ministry of Agriculture institutional grant. Tuition is not charged to learners; financial aid (housing up to €300, driving license up to €500, mobility up to €600 under Pays'Apprentis) is distributed to qualifying apprentices. It holds QualiFormAgri service-quality certification from MASAF and is CNIL-declared (2125238v0). No private investment, equity, or M&A activity exists; the entity is a non-investable public educational institution operating as part of the EPLEFPA de Vic-en-Bigorre.
