Types of education
Horsens Business College offers not only upper-secondary, but also adult and further education for employees in the private as well as public sector.
Every year about 7,000 students and delegates at Horsens Business College successfully com-plete short or long programmes leading to enhanced competences.
The youth education programmes offered by Horsens Business College are:
- Higher Commercial Examination (HHX)
- Vocational education and training (HG, consisting of sandwich-type programmes)
Higher Commercial Examination is a 3-year upper-secondary programme offering specialisation in either economics, marketing or foreign languages with cultural studies. The HHX qualifies students for further education at the universities etc. (see in danish).
The vocational and training programmes normally take 4 years and typically consist of two years of basic education (HG) and two years of practical work placement in a company, alternating with courses at the business college. HG gives students a choice of 5 different profiles (see in danish).
The Professional Training Centre offers professional in-service training and management develop-ment courses. The PTC is a flexible and customer-oriented provider of courses, specialising within a wide range of fields. It develops and offers competence enhancement programmes and advisory services based on the customer’s needs (see www.kursuscenter-horsens.dk).
Learning environment and networking
At Horsens Business College we put great emphasis on creating a good learning environment focusing on the psychological, physical and aesthetic ambience. Hence we continuously evaluate and develop the learning environment as part of our quality assurance programme.
Horsens Business College is developing in interaction with a great number of partners and has therefore formed a wide network in Denmark and abroad.
