An introduction to Roskilde Technical College and Vilvorde
Roskilde Technical College, RTS, located close to the capital of Denmark, offers a wide range of educations, including VET programmes, vocationally-orientated technical and commercial education programmes, short-cycled higher education, further education and training and adult vocational training.

Vilvorde, the green department of RTS, is Denmark's largest provider of both regular and short VET programmes within agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
The educations offered range from animal keeper, forest and landscape technician and gardener, to floral designer and greenkeeper assistant (golfcourses). Furthermore, a wide range of short-term courses and continued training and educations are offered within what is known as "open education" and the adult vocational training programmes.

Every year approximately 2 000 students and apprentices attend one of Vilvorde's VET programmes. About 400 students attend short or long term courses focusing on landscaping, greenhouses, cemetery maintenance, and flower arrangement.
There are about 90 teachers working on the 72 hectares (about 180 acres) of land which accommodate several greenhouses, landscaping and machine halls, demonstration gardens, an ecological farm with domestic animals (husbandry) in modern stabling systems, an indoor riding hall and a continuously increasing selection of zoo animals.
There is a canteen with room for more than 260 people at a time, a technical library and access to the internet from the 120 computers located around the college. These computers are programmed with read aloud and writing assistance for disabled students, who are offered assistance during their education or courses by the vocational education counsellors.

Students can begin the basic course of the VET programmes for animal keepers, forest and landscape technicians and gardeners every ten weeks.
