LABORANTSKOLEN NORDSJÆLLAND

As a lab technician, you cover all the details

A lab technician has been involved when the media talk about salmonella, gene technology and DNA analyses. When you read about new pharmaceuticals, deoxygenation or E. coli in drinking water, you can be sure that a lab technician has analysed it.
Lesser-known jobs that lab technicians do include the labelling on the food you eat and research in gene modification of new plants.
Overall, few things in your daily life have not been carefully analysed at a laboratory.
To this should be added all the new research in biotechnology and new pharmaceuticals.
All this increases the need for lab technicians.

Programme
The lab technician programme is a short college education spanning 2.5 years. Already after 1.5 years, you start a paid company-training programme, which runs for one year. At the school, you begin by studying general subjects, which are then supplemented with chemical engineering and biotechnology. The in-school programme ends with an optional specialty course. You complete your final exam project in cooperation with the company where you are doing in-service training. Getting in-service training in Frederiksborg County is easy, because we have a rapidly growing number of lab technician jobs.
During the programme, you will learn to plan and perform assignments in the lab. This thoroughly prepares you for handling jobs relating to production, research, counselling and control in both private and public laboratories.

Student environment
The lab technician programme at Erhvervsakademiet Nordsjælland is situated at Carlsbergvej 16 in Hillerød, a mere five-minute walk from Hillerød Station.

The lab technician programme has 14-15 employees and 4-5 classes. We are one of the largest lab technician colleges in Denmark and also one of the nicest. You can always drop by for a talk with a study counsellor and get a feel for the good atmosphere.
All classrooms are equipped with computers with Internet access and printers, so you will have access to a computer whenever you need one. You will be working in brand new laboratories – specially approved for gene technology.
We focus on continuously improving the programme, a process that involves considerable student input.

Continuing education
Many lab technicians have great success continuing their studies to become a pharmacist or engineer.
You can also continue your education through the diploma programme and subsequently the master’s programme.
The laboratory technician programme

‘For many years, I wasn’t sure what education to choose, but now I know that I’m meant to be a lab technician’.

Anita Christensen, graduate of the lab technician college Hamlet

Anita Christensen and Charlotte Helene Kongslev both work at Milana A/S in Ellsinore. Anita finished her education in Hillerød in 1998, while Charlotte finished hers in Roskilde in 1996. Both work for the GC group, which has 14 employees.

Our work involves examining contaminated soil and water samples. We check for pesticides, PAH, oil, petrol, etc. Taking these types of samples is becoming more and more common. It is fascinating that one can do analyses on such small amounts. It takes six months’ training to master an analysis method, and the analyses keep presenting new challenges. Charlotte says she has fun solving the problems that arise, and Anita points out that they have the freedom to plan their own work schedule. Both agree that the profession of lab technician offers a wealth of opportunities, e.g. research in biotechnology. We also enjoy our job because we do it better than others. It gives us a sense of pride to say that we are lab technicians. Anita adds, ‘for many years, I wasn’t sure what education to choose. But from day one, I knew I was meant to be a lab technician.’
