Vocational education and training system (VET)

Vocational education and training consist of a basic programme divided into two basic courses and the main programme. VET-students enrolled directly after compulsory school will start on the first basic course, which older students can’t. They enroll directly in the second basis course. The length of each of the two basic courses is 20 weeks.

At Roskilde Technical College we offer these two of four main subject areas of the Danish VET system:

  • Food, agriculture and hospitality
  • Technology, construction and transportation

The main programme of the Danish VET is based on the alternating principle typically organized as 4-5 periods of school-based education and training at the workplace. The students must therefore have a training agreement with an approved company which offers training. The main programme typically takes 3 to 3½ years, but can be shorter or longer for certain programmes. Main programmes are offered at EQF level 3 (1,5 years), at EQF level 4 (3 years) and some programmes at EQF level 5 ( 5 years).

Roskilde Technical College offers these vocational main programmes. The Danish name for each main programme is stated in parenthesis:
