As of August 1st, 2015, the plumbing business offers a new plumbing-energy education.

The new apprentices varies - as it is today - between practical work in the company and being taught on a techical college.

On the introductory course, the new apprentices will be trained in the new tasks waiting for them in the company. This will qualify the apprentices to partake in the work in the company and thus continue on the practical part of the training.

The plumbing-energy education has four speciality tracks* Plumbing-energy specialist* Plumbing installation technician* Ventilation technician* Plumber

The educational track for alle specialist roles switches bet-ween practical work in the company and theoretical educati-on on a technical college.

The theoretical education is divided into an introductory course (GF) and a main course with four schoolings. The introductory course and the following practical period, is common for all four specialist roles.

Training apprentices is a good investmentWhen you participate in the education of an apprentice, you also contribute to a qualified plumbing business in the future.

You also help yourself by not risking to run low on the spe-cialized professionals, your company needs.

Through your guidance and attention, you can shape the ap-prentice so he/she fits into the companys culture and ways or working. This is a great advantage to both you and the ap-prentice in case of an eventual transition from apprenticeship to permanent employment.As a young person, the apprentice will question work met-hods and habits, and contribute with new angles on the use of moderne technology in your company.

Become an approved internship todayA company need to be approved as an internship, to be able to make an educational agreement with an apprentice.

To become approved, the company must offer tasks within the area of the specific education/specialization.

Furthermore, some specializations requires the employment of an authorized professional in the company. These specia-lizations are:

• Plumbing-energy specialist• Plumbing installation specialist• Plumber

Structure of the educationCommon to all specializations

Introductory courseIntroductory course 1The first part of the introductory course, is for apprentices coming straight from 9th or 10th grade - or have finished one of these classes within the last year.On this course, the apprentices will learn a common and bro-ad set of professional skills.

Introductory course 2The second part runs for 20 weeks and is aimed at the plum-bing-energy education. For 18 weeks, classes within techni-cal plumbing is taught, while the remaining 2 weeks are pure mathematical training. The aim of this education is, to provi-de the apprentices the professional competencies required, to continue on the main educational track.

The second part of the introductory course concludes with a theoretical/practical test, granting access to the main tracks of the education. The apprentice must also pass math on at least e-level.

Basic competenciesAll apprentices will learn the following basic assembly com-petencies, and will be capable of:• Assemble traditional gas- and oil powered heaters with

radiators, valves, pumps, expansion tank and compen-sation unit.

• Assemble smaller district heating units with radiator, valves and expansion tank.

• Assemble gas stove, gas water heater and gas boiler in single family homes.

• Assemble solar heating-, bio fuel- or heat pump units med simple automatics.

• Assemble water- and drainage installations in private homes, offices and the industry.

• Perform service checks and repair on heaters, water- and drainage installations.

• Mount prefabricated gutters, pipes and flashing near walls and roof breakthroughs (for plumbing-energy specialists, plumbing installation technicians and plum-bers).

• Mount prefabricated pipes and fittings and fabricate simple fittings for ventilation units (for ventilation te-chnicians).

Additionally, all apprentices earn basic competencies in:• Materials science• Documentation• Digital communication• Digital drawing• Quality assurance

All specialist roles will also contain some technical project management as well as customer service.

After having completed this course, the apprentice will only receive plumbing, installation and tin shaping schooling cor-responding to the requirements for the chosen specialization.

Plumber and sheet metal workerThe total educational track as a plumber and sheet metal worker takes 4 years, where the 60 weeks takes place on a technical college.

Uddannelsen til Vvs og blikkenslager har et samlet forløb på 4 years, hvoraf de 60 uger er på en erhvervsskole.

A skilled plumber can:- Manufacture, assemble and complete seamed roof and fa-

cade work in copper, zinc and aluminum.- Perform folding work on towers, tops and spires in cop-

per, zinc and aluminum- Restore roofs and facades on historic and protected buil-

dings.- Unfold and manufacture caps, vents, gutters and down pi-

pes in copper and zinc.- Assemble prefabricated roof and facade units.- Break through roofing on copper, zinc and aluminum ro-

ofs.- Perform sheathing in replacement materials.- Apply slate to roofs and facades.- TIG-welding copper.- Control and regulation of heating technology units..- Dimension water and drainage installations.- Weld steel pipes in houses, business and industry, accor-

ding to current standards- Technical project management.- Guide customer with regards to operation and maintenan-

ce of existing plumbing installations as well as possible solutions for and maintenance of roof and facade work.

Optional specialist coursesFollowing this track, one week has been allocated on the technical col,lege for an optional specialization. These are primarily focussed on further enhancing skills within a given area.

If the company does not do sanitary plumbingSome companies with the plumbing area, primarily work within roofing and facade work og thus never or seldom act within sanitary plumbing. These companies can still parti-cipate in the education of apprentices within the plumbing specialization.

The company must, when the education agreement is being prepared, ensure that the apprentice receives his practical education, including pipe work, either in the educational workshop on the technical college or in another sanitary plumbing company, cf. the list below.

The sanitary plumbing part, including the pipe part, takes up about 15% of the total time of 4 years for the education. This breaks down to 10 weeks in the technical college and about 5 months with practical work. However, this practical education could rely on an individual assessment.

It is important to note, that during the 3. main course, the apprentice must pass a separate pipe work exam, those result passes over to the apprenticeship exam on the 4. main course.

The practical education for the sanitary plumbing part, inclu-ding the pipe part, is most appropriately planned in a way, that leaves about 3 months of practical work between main course 1 and 2, and about 2 months of practical work bet-ween main course 2 and 3.

Conclusion of education agreementThe education agreement is a contract between the company and the apprentice. It should contain the master data on the apprentice and the company, start and end date of the ag-rement, previously completed theoretical education, desired specialization, what kind of agreement this is, ie. is it an or-dinary agreement or for instance an adult track.

You need to decide, if you want to agree on a traditional training agreement (EUD) or maybe an EUX-agreement. You also need to decide on the specialization the appren-tice should have - you might need to consider the areas of business you have in your company now and in the future and which competencies, the new apprentice and potential employee should possess.

The agreement itself can be ordered from a technical college, or you can download it from www.tekniq.dk or www.evu.dk. After the agreement has been filled in and signed by both the company and the apprentice, it must be sent to the technical college. The college registers and approves the training agre-ement. It is returned to the company afterwards.

Specifics for training agreements for EUX-ap-prenticesIf an EUX-apprentice has to abandon following the seconda-ry classes in the EUX-track, he/she is entitled to continue his training agreement as an EUD-apprentice and the company and apprentice must agree on an additional agreement for the remainder of the education.

Apprenticeship examThe apprenticeship exam takes places during the last main course on the technical college, and is to be completed at the earliest 3 months prior to the end of the training.

It is important to note, that apprentices within the plumbing track, must attend a special pipe exam during the 3. main course. This exam result will be included in the apprentices-hip exam during the 4. main course.

13

An education with lots of op-portunitiesThe plumbing energy education is a challenging education, and for the apprentices who want to and can do it, there are many opportunities.

High level subjectsThere are plenty of possibilities for the apprentice to enhance his/her skills by taking part in the theoretical education on the technical college, at a higher level than what is manda-tory. Each specialized track offer a subset of the subjects as high-level subjects, where the contents and the teaching de-mands more of the apprentices skills within innovative and solution oriented thinking.

It differs from track to track, what subjects are taught as high-level subjects:

High-level subjects on the plumbing energy education:

Talent trackOn the plumbing energy specialist track, there is an option for the very skilled apprentices to earn a special plumbing talent apprenticeship. Following the talent track, the subje-cts Controlling & regulation, Sanitation automatics, Energy policies & optimization, Systems for energy units, Technical project management and Regulation of energy units must be completed as high-level subjects. This means, that on the ta-lent track, 11 of the 40 weeks in the technical college, will be following high-level subjects.

The apprentice can be accepted into the talent track before the beginning of the 2. main course. It should be stated in the training agreement, if the apprentice should follow the talent track. The length of the education is the same as for the ordinary plumbing energy specialist (4 years).

EUX plumbing and energy specialistThe EUX education takes 4 years and 9 months, and combi-nes the ordinary training and a secondary school exam. The education is for theoretically highly skilled and ambitious people, with skills and courage to take on two educations at the same time. The EUX education makes it possible to make a career in within the business area, as well as offering ac-cess to higher educations such as installer, engineer or chief engineer.

The EUX education will mainly appeal to clever, ambitious and career minded people. It is a groundbreaking new form of education, those purpose it is to raise the professional le-vel and boost growth and growth opportunities in the bu-siness area. With an EUX education, the apprentice recei-ves both an apprenticeship exam and a baccalaureate - two educations in one go.

If an EUX-apprentice has to abandon following the seconda-ry classes in the EUX-track, he/she is entitled to continue his training agreement as an EUD-apprentice and the company and apprentice must agree on an additional agreement for the remainder of the education.

Adult trackApprentices, over the age of 25 when they start their plum-bing energy training, must complete the education as an adult training education - EUV.

EUV apprentices will learn the same as other apprentices. The technical college will assess, if the apprentice has any professional or educational experience, that can shorten the training period. Most apprentices over the age of 25, must follow the same track as apprentices under the age of 25.

If the apprentice has a lot of relevant professional experience or already has completed another education, the apprentice can follow a shortened track for adults.

It is the responsibility for the technical college, to ensure that the apprentice received the correct shortened education, so if the apprentice is over 25 years old, it is a good idea to get in touch with the technical college to get an overview of the final educational track.

15

Shortened trackAll apprentices under 25 years of age, having completed a baccalaureate exam with a specific list of subjects (Danish C, Math A, Physics B, Technics A and Social Sciences C) can complete the specialist track plumbing energy specialist as a shortened track. The education time for these apprentices is 3 years - of this, the theoretical education on the technical college takes up 44,5 to 48,5 weeks.
