EFA Campomar

What EFA Campomar does

EFA Campomar (legal name: Escuela Familiar Agraria Campomar) is a private vocational training institution founded around 1970/1971 and based in Aguadulce, Almería, Andalusia, Spain. The school delivers regulated vocational cycles (Grado Básico, Medio, and Superior) across the agraria, transporte y mantenimiento de vehículos, and industrias alimentarias professional families, in both presencial and semipresencial/a distancia modalities. It also offers non-regulated technical courses (including officially accredited pesticide applicator certification at Básico, Cualificado, and Fumigador levels), professional certificates, Dual FP (FP Dual), Erasmus+ international mobility, and university degrees in Agricultural Industries Engineering and Mechanical Engineering through its affiliation with Universidad Católica de Ávila (UCAV). On-campus infrastructure includes modern greenhouses, laboratories, automotive workshops, a 54-bed student residence, and sports facilities.

The underlying technology stack centers on a Virtual Learning Environment (Aula Virtual/EVA) built on the Educamos platform, with Office 365 and OneDrive integration for document management and the Zsoporte tool for web-based remote technical assistance. Instructional innovation includes IoT-enabled smart greenhouse climate control (sensors and mobile remote management) and APP AGROCAMPOMAR, a student-developed mobile application for crop pest and disease prevention. Research activity (I+D+i+F) links the school to EU projects such as FERTINNOWA on sustainable water use, and to institutional partners including IFAPA and PITA.

EFA Campomar generates revenue through three primary streams: tuition fees from students (with COAG Almería member discounts of 20-25% and one or two-installment payment options), government funding as a concerted center under Junta de Andalucía, and bonified corporate training delivered through FUNDAE/Fundación Tripartita. Student enrollment reached a record 426 in the 2025/2026 academic year with 150+ graduates annually, supported by ten annual Fundación Unicaja excellence scholarships. The institution employs 24 staff, maintains EFQM quality certification and ISO 27001 compliance, and operates as part of the Federación de Escuelas Familiares Agrarias de Andalucía Penibética network.
