Checklist: are you ready to apply?

Entry requirements, deadlines and apprentice position in one overview

Before you apply, it is a good idea to have control of the practical things. Go through the list here so you know what is missing and what you already have in place.

§The entry requirements

  • 01Have you passed elementary school's final exam or an equivalent test?
  • 02Do you have at least 2.0 average in both Danish and mathematics?
  • 03If not: have you investigated the possibility of an admissions interview and test at school?
  • 04Has it been more than approximately one year since primary school? Then you may be able to start directly on basic course 2

§School and deadline

  • 01Have you found a school that offers the education in your part of the country?
  • 02Do you know the application deadline — especially if you are applying directly from primary school?
  • 03Have you considered whether you will take the education as EUX?

§Lærepladsen

  • 01Have you started looking for a company willing to enter into an education agreement?
  • 02Do you have a short, honest application and a CV ready?
  • 03Do you know who you can ask at school for help finding an apprenticeship?

The earlier you start looking for an apprenticeship, the better. Many companies like to meet a motivated student, and an approach in good time shows that you mean business.
