Industrial technician
You can look forward to that.
As an industrial technician, you work with advanced machinery, precision tasks and production where quality and accuracy matter a lot. You learn to program and control modern equipment, work with drawings, plan production processes and manufacture parts in materials such as metal and plastic.
The subject combines technique, logic and practical skills, and you become an important part of the work that makes production work from start to finish.

How the training takes place
The education begins at Techcollege, where you gain insight into machines, programming, measurement technology, materials and the workflows that go into modern production. You learn to use software and drawings and to control machines that automatically process materials according to your instructions.
You will then be trained in a place where production and machining are carried out. Here you will become part of everyday life and will be given tasks as you become ready for them. You will learn to follow the entire process from planning and programming to checking the finished components.
Everyday life in learning
In the apprenticeship, you work on programming and controlling machines, setting up equipment, measuring components and checking quality. You learn to find solutions to technical challenges and combine software, drawings and practical working methods in your daily work.
The work can be both theoretical and practical, and you will gain experience in creating components that are part of larger structures and machines.

Take an EUX
EUX stands for vocational high school diploma. It is a program where you combine a vocational education with subjects at upper secondary school level. You learn your subject in the same way as everyone else on the program, but at the same time have upper secondary school subjects in the schedule.
With an EUX, you graduate with both a journeyman's certificate and a high school diploma, and that combination gives you a solid starting point, regardless of whether you dream of work, specialization or new educational paths.

The education lasts up to 4.5 years and alternates between school and apprenticeship.
If you choose EUX , the education lasts up to 5 years.
As an industrial technician, you work with modern production and computer-controlled machines.
You will learn to:
Plan and program production processes
Working with CNC-controlled machines (2-, 3-, 4- and 5-axis)
Use CAD and CAD/CAM for design and production
Working with measurement technology
Understand materials and processing
Working with automation and robots
You will receive training in, among other things:
Mathematics and physics
Understanding of materials and processing
CNC technology
CAD technology (e.g. Autodesk Inventor)
CAD/CAM (e.g. Mastercam)
Conventional machining
Technical innovation
You learn to be part of the entire production process – from the material coming in until it is finished, measured and ready for shipment.
Once you have completed the education, you can work as an industrial technician .
You can work in companies that produce components and machine parts in metal, plastic and other materials.
You can be involved in many stages of production – from programming and processing to quality assurance.
You can also further your education, for example in:
Operating technologist – offshore, export and technology
Automation Technologist
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.
Yes, you can.
The education can be taken as EUX , where you combine vocational education with upper secondary school subjects.
EUX lasts 5 years and gives you both a journeyman's certificate and a high school diploma.
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.
