Refrigeration Department at Technical College of Jutland is the only place in DK where you can educate as a refrigeration engineer. At the same time we are the biggest provider of in-service training in this trade.You will meet a school full of experience and know-how in the field of refrigeration technology.

You will have 20 weeks at school as a start: ”basic training course”. Here you get aquainted with several of the educations belonging to the same family. The last 4 weeks of the basic course has direct focus on refrigeration – here we are making a small cooling system.
