Presentation
The APA and Health training program 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 education programs for Health through Adapted Physical Activity for people in the above-mentioned categories.
Due to limited capacity for this program, applications from high school graduates from the Montpellier Academy and those from high school students preparing for the French baccalaureate abroad will be given priority.
Regardless of the candidates' profiles, applications must be submitted via ParcourSup.
