École des pêches et de l’aquaculture du Québec

École des pêches et de l’aquaculture du Québec (ÉPAQ) is a national institution located in Grande-Rivière, in the region of Gaspésie. It is the place in Quebec for training in Aquaculture Techniques, Fishery product processing technology, Professional Fishery, and Maritime Mechanics. Our school, part of the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles, is known for the many kinds of support available to ensure success, as well as for the availability of its teachers.

Our environment emphasizes learning through practical work, including with a school boat, a pilot factory, greenhouses, mechanical rooms, a navigation simulator, and more. Gaspésie is graced with uncommonly beautiful panoramas. Here, wherever you are, you’re never more than a stone’s throw away from both fresh and salt waters. This unique characteristic of the region makes it an especially good place for students who want to do various sports and outdoor activities. Studying at ÉPAC means enjoying personalized guidance with qualified teachers, in a great outdoors setting!
