In English

Fisheries Training Centre trains fishermen and employees for the coastal maritime sector – this means crew on small ferries, pilots, emergency units, offshore wind parks etc.

Our training programmes are covered by the quality certification of the Danish Maritime Authority.

The school is located in Thyborøn, but we conduct training courses all over the country, both from our training ships and from rented premises.

We offer safety courses, basic training programmes for commercial fishermen and a wide range of supplementary training courses for employees and the unemployed.

Every year, between 500 and 600 students and course participants sign up for our programmes.

As the only fisheries school in Denmark, we work hard to offer high-quality training programmes that are extremely user-oriented.

We also focus on fisheries as an international profession and collaborate with other fisheries schools across Europe. This means that our teachers are always up-to-date about international issues, but also that we can help create contacts for students and course participants.

In Thyborøn we have excellent teaching facilities, both for theory teaching and for workshops.

Students and course participants are offered room and board at the school during their stay. We have rooms as well as small flats.

Our training ship “Athene” is brand new and offers state-of-the art teaching facilities.

Courses can be conducted on Athene in all fishing ports where there is a need.

Working at sea can be dangerous. Safety is thus a high priority at the school. We make sure that you receive thorough instruction before you start your practical exercises, our teaching environment is healthy and safe and we have an alcohol and abuse policy to support this.

We are part of EUC Nordvest (centre for business and education) and we are therefore able to offer a wide range of courses and training programmes related to our main focus area. This could include management, finance, IT, language and practice-oriented programmes, e.g. in transport, engines and hydraulics.
