The duration of the education depends on which specialization you choose:

• IT supporter : up to 3 years

• Computer technician : up to 5.5 years

There is a limited number of places available for Basic Course 2 , and admission is by quota . This means that there are a limited number of places, and we cannot accept all applicants.

You can choose between the following directions:

IT supporter
The training lasts a maximum of 3 years.

Here you work with:

• Setup and maintenance of PCs and networks

• Troubleshooting

• Support and customer contact

You will typically be employed in medium-sized and large companies with their own IT department, at consulting firms, hosting companies or internet providers.

Computer engineer specializing in infrastructure
The education lasts a maximum of 5½ years.

Here you work with:

• Building complex networks and server installations

• Implementation of security solutions

• LAN and WAN network design

You will typically be employed in hosting companies, consulting firms or larger companies with their own IT operations.

Computer technician specializing in programming

• Prevention and management of security incidents

• Building secure networks and server installations

• Network and endpoint security

• Application security and data management

You will typically be employed in IT departments, hosting companies, consulting firms or organizations where cybersecurity is crucial.

During the program, you will learn to work professionally with IT systems, networks, servers and programming – depending on which specialization you choose.

In Basic Course 2 you will work with, among other things:

• IT knowledge – how a computer works and its components

• Programming – basic principles, syntax and coding languages

• Servers – domain controllers, DHCP, DNS, etc.

• Networking – how systems communicate

• Interdisciplinary projects – e.g. setting up a LAN party with capacity calculation

The teaching combines technical theory and practical projects, where you work both independently and in teams.

Once you have completed the education, you can work as:

• IT supporter

• Computer engineer (specializing in either infrastructure, programming, or cybersecurity)

You can work in both private and public companies where the operation, development and security of IT systems are crucial.

You can also further your education, for example in:

• IT technologist

• Automation Technologist

• Multimedia designer

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 is limited access to Basic Course 2 .

This means that:

• There are a limited number of places.

• We are therefore unable to admit all applicants.

• Admission is via quota.

When you apply for admission to GF2 without an apprenticeship, you participate in a quota process where applicants are assessed.

If you already have a signed training agreement (apprenticeship) , you are automatically admitted and do not participate in the quota admission.

It is therefore an advantage to have an apprenticeship when you apply.

General admission requirements for vocational education:

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.
