Do you want to work with modern agricultural and construction machines – and gain an education that opens doors across Europe and beyond? At HEG, we offer a vocational education programme taught in English, focused on real skills, real machines and real job opportunities. The programme is recognised as EQF level 4 / ISCED level 3, making it comparable to upper-secondary vocational qualifications across Europe and beyond.
This programme is for you if you want a hands-on career in a global industry.
You’ll train to inspect, maintain, and repair advanced agricultural and construction machinery – while developing strong technical and professional skills that are in high demand worldwide.
Depending on your background, the programme offers different recognised pathways:
This is your chance to build a future in one of the world’s most technology-driven and essential sectors.
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the programme, its structure, your future career, and what it’s like to study with us.
Whether you dream of working abroad or starting your career in Denmark, this English-taught Vocational Education and Training programme gives you international options from day one.
This is not a classroom-only education. From day one, you’ll be working hands-on – using real tools, solving real problems, and understanding how high-powered machines work from the inside out.
The programme combines practical workshop training with relevant theory. You’ll work with everything from engines, hydraulics and diagnostics to safety, documentation and sustainability. As you progress, your skills will be put into action through internships in real companies, either in Denmark or abroad.
Throughout the programme, we focus on:
- Understanding technology – not just operating it
- Learning by doing – because that’s how professionals are made
- Becoming industry-ready – with the ability to communicate and collaborate across languages and cultures.
It all adds up to a complete Danish vocational qualification – with strong relevance in agriculture, mechanics, transport, and green technologies.

And if you’re looking for big-city life once in a while, Aalborg is just 40 km away – the cultural hub of North Jutland, full of concerts, student events, waterfront cafés and street food markets.
🚆 With fast public transport, Aars connects you easily to both Aalborg in the north and Hobro – and the rest of Denmark – in the south.

The dormitory at HEG is more than just a place to sleep – it’s where community, learning and everyday life come together. With 300–400 students living on campus throughout the year, you’ll join a diverse and welcoming youth environment filled with energy and new connections.
Here, students from across Denmark, Greenland, the Faroe Islands – and soon the rest of Europe – live, eat, study and hang out together. You typically share a room with another student, and all meals and social activities are included.
Dorm life means shared dinners, late-night conversations, movie nights, and friendships that make being away from home feel like home again. The dorm quickly becomes your second home – a place where you live, learn and grow.
