How the training takes place
The training begins at Techcollege, where you are introduced to the methods, products, techniques and workflows of the profession. The teaching gives you a good professional perspective and helps you understand how the different treatments are planned and carried out.
After a period at school, you will be trained at a clinic. Here you will become part of the team, follow treatments closely and be given responsibility at a pace that you are ready for. You will learn to work systematically, choose products and techniques carefully and participate in the rhythms that make a clinic function on a daily basis.
Everyday life in learning
During your apprenticeship, you will follow the clients' progress and learn to prepare, perform and complete treatments with professional certainty. You will become familiar with equipment, products and method choices, and you will gradually gain more responsibility in your daily tasks.
You will work closely with experienced colleagues, and you will be part of an environment where quality and structure are in focus. This is where you will truly develop your skills and find your own style in the profession.

Once you have completed the training, you can work as a cosmetologist .
For example, you can work in:
Beauty clinics
Spa and wellness places
As a cosmetologist, you work with treatments, advice and product sales. You help give customers a good experience and guide them in skincare and cosmetics.
To start the main course, you must have an apprenticeship - also called a training agreement.
An apprenticeship means that you are employed as a student in a company and enter into an agreement about your education. This is where you learn the subject in practice and become part of a workplace.
You can apply for an apprenticeship with companies yourself, and the school will guide and support you in the process of applying and contacting companies.
If you do not find an apprenticeship immediately, you have the opportunity to receive school training if the education is offered with school training.
School-based training means that you complete the practical part of the education at school instead of in a company. Here you work with the same professional goals and competencies that you would otherwise learn in an apprenticeship.
This means that you can continue your education even if you do not have an apprenticeship from the start.
A vocational education is divided into two parts: basic course and main course .
The basic course
The basic course is the first part of the education and takes place at school.
If you come directly from 9th or 10th grade, you start with Basic Course 1. Here you spend the first half of the year being introduced to the educational field and learning the basic subjects and working methods.
If you do not come directly from primary school – or if you already have an apprenticeship – you start with Basic Course 2. Here you work purposefully with the education you have chosen and get ready for the internship and main course.
The main course
The main course is the part of the education where you alternate between school and internship in a company.
This means that you both receive instruction at school and learn the subject in practice at a workplace.
To start the main course, you must have an apprenticeship (a training agreement) with a company.
The general admission requirements for vocational education and training apply, which you can read further down the page.
In addition, there are special conditions in the cosmetology program that you should be aware of:
There is access restriction on Basic Course 2.
If you do not have an apprenticeship agreement with a clinic, you must apply for a quota place.
We cannot admit all applicants to GF2.
New GF2 teams only start once a year in January .
General admission requirements for vocational education:
1) You have an apprenticeship

2) You meet the grade requirements

You must send your diploma with your application.
