Automotive Technology at Technical College Silkeborg

Technical College Silkeborg is the only vocational college in Denmark which offers courses in all areas of automotive technology. The car industry has, in recognition of this, named the college as an Automotive Training Centre.

09 November 2011

Technical College Silkeborg is the only vocational college in Denmark which offers courses in all areas of automotive technology to young people who are enthusiastic about working with cars, such as: mecanics, panel beaters and car painters. Because of this, and because its students win international awards, the car industry has, in recognition, named the college as an Automotive Training Centre.

In addition, to be named as an Automotive Training Centre by the car industry is a recognition of the college’s ability to provide continuing education for mechanics, panel beaters and auto body repair technicians, car painters, supervisors and other professions within the car industry. 

Technical College Silkeborg is simply the best when it comes to cars and automotive education.

As an Automotive Training Centre, the college has vast national and international contacts within the car industry. This ensures continuing skills development and upgrading of qualifications for its instructors, and the ability to offer continuing education on the basis of advanced technology and innovative product development to the domestic car industry.
 
- For young people attending the basic training and education classes, this unique situation means that they frequent highly pulsating environments. Our equipment and our focus are fully in line with the current requirements of the car industry, and our instructors are familiar with the new technologies, confirms Kurt Lindholm (photo), manager of the Automotive Training Centre. 


 
As a final remark, he adds that when young people further on in their education wish to specialise, Technical College Silkeborg offers intensive modular courses at the Automotive Training Centre, allowing them to study their specialized subject areas at a much deeper level.
