Bricklayer
You can look forward to that.
As a bricklayer, you work on building and renovating everything from walls and facades to bathrooms and floors. You learn to work with materials such as bricks, tiles, mortar and concrete, and you are trained in both the large constructions and the fine details that give a finished result.
The profession requires precision, overview and understanding of how materials behave when they are used to create something that will last for many years.

How the training takes place
The education begins at Techcollege, where you train your skills in our large bricklaying hall. Here you build walls, rooms and structures in different materials, and you practice everything from tiles and clinker to plaster, joints and angles. You also have theory lessons, where you learn about, among other things, materials, drawings, calculations and planning.
You will then be apprenticed at a bricklaying workplace. Here you will become part of the daily operations and be given tasks as you become ready for more responsibility. You will work on new construction, renovation and smaller tasks — and learn how to do the work safely and professionally.
Everyday life in learning
During your apprenticeship, you will have a daily routine where you work both indoors and outdoors. You will build walls, lay tile floors, install tiles, correct irregularities, repair damage and work with surfaces such as plaster and facades.
You also learn to read drawings, measure correctly, plan your work and collaborate with other professional groups on the construction site.

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.
There are three ways to meet the entry requirements:
1) You have an apprenticeship
If you have a training agreement with a company, you automatically meet the admission requirements.
2) You meet the grade requirements
You must have:
Passed 9th or 10th grade
At least 02 on average in both Danish and mathematics
Passed the primary school leaving exam
If it has been less than a year since you finished primary school, you must be assessed as ready for education and submit your study choice portfolio.
You must send your diploma with your application.
3) Entrance exam
If you do not meet the requirements, you can take an entrance exam.
If you apply for Basic Course 2, you will need to attend an interview before you can be admitted.
