The school's training approach prioritizes practical experience, with a system of alternating theoretical and practical training. Students benefit from the Ferme K-D.K, a 200-hectare agricultural farm in Kpéssou, Tchaourou commune. This farm serves as a hands-on learning environment where students gain experience in agricultural production, livestock, and related activities.
This practical approach enables students to develop skills that are directly applicable in the job market and prepares them for entrepreneurship and self-employment.

For the 2026-2027 academic year, nine Dtm streams are available, including production céréalière et légumineuse, aviculture, cuniculture et élevages non conventionnels, and pisciculture et aquaculture. These streams offer numerous opportunities for insertion and entrepreneurship, such as managing agricultural farms, producing vegetables or animals, and creating agricultural businesses.
The Lycée Agricole K-D.K's achievements demonstrate its potential to become a leading institution in agricultural technical training in Benin.
