EUD is common term used in Denmark for erhvervsuddannelse – vocational education.

The vocational education system is a form of education that combines theoretical classroom study with practical training with a company. EUDs are a part of the educational offering for young people in Denmark, but this does not mean they are only for school-leavers or young people in general. The average age of students on EUDs at TEC is actually 28.

The programme is designed to provide students with both theoretical skills and practical experience, enabling them to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life, work situations.

You'll be part of a skilled community of tradespeople and a proud tradition of craftsmanship, using your hands to create something tangible and functional. Many take great satisfaction in mastering a craft – plus, you'll be paid during your training, with opportunities to develop further down the line.

EUD programmes last between two and 6 ½ years. The length of the programme will depend on your age, whether you begin straight after compulsory education and what specialty you choose.

Duration and flexibility

EUDs are flexible and can be adapted to your situation. Young people coming straight from compulsory education take a little longer to complete the programme compared to adults who may have experience or education.

Specialty selection

Your choice of specialty will also play a considerable role in how long the programme will take. Some specialties require more time in the classroom and more training, while others can be completed faster.

To be admitted to an EUD programme, you will need to have completed lower secondary school. This means that you must have graduated from either year nine or year ten and have scored at least 02 in Danish and maths.

Qualifications you need to have

To be accepted onto an EUD, you need to have completed year nine or year ten. You also need to have scored at least 02 in both Danish and maths. This ensures that you have the basic skills needed to meet the requirements of the programme.

Why these requirements?

These require are set to ensure that all students have the skills and abilities needed to keep up with the course and get the most out of both the theoretical and practical components of the programme. It is important to have a solid foundation in both Danish ande mathematics, as these subjects are fundamental to many of the challenges you will face over the course of your vocational education.

If you are over 25, you can study a form of vocational education for adults known as EUV – erhvervsuddannelse for voksne, or vocational education for adults. At TEC, you can choose from several different vocational programmes, and these are the programmes you have acces to as an adult.

Vocational education for adults (EUV)

As an adult, you have the option to take a vocational education course that takes account of your previous experience and education. These programmes are called EUVs and they are specially designed to adapt to your situation and give you credit for what you've already learned.

Benefits of EUVs

One of the biggest advantages of taking an EUV is you can often get credit for your previous work experience and education. This means that your vocational education programme will usually be shorter compared to younger students. This makes the programme more flexible and means you will be able to complete your training and get onto the labour market sooner.

Same education, new opportunities

Even if you are an adult, you still have access to the same vocational programmes at TEC as younger students. This means you can choose the programme that best suits your interests and career goals.

Once you have applied for a vocational programme, you will be notified promptly as to whether or not you have been accepted. We know the wait can be nerve-wracking, and so we strive to provide you with a quick response so you can plan for your future
