Presentation
Training in APA and Health aims to train Adapted Physical Activity Teachers (EAPA). The role of the Adapted Physical Activity specialist is to participate in the design, implementation and evaluation of intervention, prevention and health education programs using Adapted Physical Activity for people in the above-mentioned categories.
Due to the limited capacity of this program, applications from baccalaureate holders from the Académie de Montpellier, and from high school students preparing a French baccalaureate abroad, will be given priority.
Whatever the candidate's profile, applications must be made on ParcourSup.
