SVU weeks: how many does your FVU course use?

How much of my paid educational leave do I use on basic vocational training, and how long can I get paid educational leave?

Answer: You can get SVU in 40 weeks × 37 hours in total for education at primary or upper secondary level, and FVU is included. If you attend FVU part-time, each week uses only a fraction of a full SVU week, so the 40 weeks last longer. SVU you got before for the same level is deducted. Enter your hours per week, how many weeks the course lasts, and how many full SVU weeks you have used before.

Formula

En fuld SVU-uge = 37 timer. Deltid bruger timer pr. uge ÷ 37 af en uge.

Forbrug = timer pr. uge · antal uger ÷ 37.

Tilbage = 40 − tidligere brugte uger − forbrug.

Kalenderuger i alt ved samme timetal = (40 − tidligere) · 37 ÷ timer pr. uge.

  • VET provides SVU from 3 hours teaching per week (svu.dk). Weeks can be extended if delayed eg from illness. The calculator does not decide if you are entitled: VET does when you apply on svu.dk with MitID.

Sådan bruger du den

Du kan i alt få SVU i 40 fulde uger på folkeskole- og gymnasialt niveau, og FVU hører med. Går du på deltid, bruger du kun en del af en uge ad gangen. Beregneren viser, hvor meget dit forløb bruger, og hvor meget der er tilbage, hvis du vil fortsætte på AVU eller hf bagefter.

Step by step

  1. Indtast dine undervisningstimer pr. uge.
  2. Indtast hvor mange uger forløbet varer.
  3. Indtast fulde SVU-uger, du har brugt før på samme niveau.
  4. Læs forbruget og resten af.

Typical errors

  • At tro at hver kalenderuge bruger en hel SVU-uge. Deltid bruger en brøkdel.
  • At glemme SVU, du har fået før til samme niveau.
  • At regne med under 3 timer om ugen. Så kan du ikke få SVU til FVU.

Examples from everyday life

FVU-dansk 6 timer om ugen

Du går på FVU-dansk 6 timer om ugen i 15 uger og har ikke fået SVU før.

Your teaching hours per week (minimum 3)
6 timer/uge
Weeks on the course
15 weeks
Full SVU weeks you have used before at same level
0 weeks

It means: Forløbet bruger 2.4 weeks. Du har 37.6 weeks tilbage.

Videre efter tidligere SVU

Du har tidligere brugt 10 fulde SVU-uger. Nu tager du FVU og AVU 12 timer om ugen i 30 uger.

Your teaching hours per week (minimum 3)
12 timer/uge
Weeks on the course
30 weeks
Full SVU weeks you have used before at same level
10 weeks

It means: Forløbet bruger 9.7 weeks, og du har 20.3 weeks tilbage. Med 12 timer om ugen kunne din resterende ret i alt række 93 weeks.

Rule of thumb

6 timer om ugen i 10 uger bruger ca. 1,6 fulde SVU-uger.

How to check the answer

Brugt + tilbage + tidligere skal give 40 uger, så længe retten ikke er brugt op.
