Danish Shipping Education (DSE) educates shipping-professionals of tomorrow in close collaboration with shipping companies, creating an education that is both theoretical and practical. Together we prepare trainees for an exciting future in the worldwide shipping industry.  

Practical Information:

Trainees are enrolled in DSE by the ship owner, bunker company, or other sort of shipping related company, with which they already have a signed contract. Trainees are therefore required to be employed in trainee positions during DSE.

Team 2026-2028 is planned to start September 7th 2026 and finishes 23rd of June 2028.

DSE 2026-2028 consists of five in-person modules, which complement the practical on-the-job training. Attendance at each module is mandatory. We strive to conduct 4 out of 5 modules in Denmark and the 5th module (not the final module of the education) is planned to be conduted abroad.

The dates for the modules are (4 and 5 might be subject to change):

• Module 1: Sept. 7th - 12th 2026 (Denmark)
• Module 2: Jan 18th - 23rd 2027 (Denmark)
• Module 3: April 19th - 24th 2027 (Brussels & Rotterdam)
• Module 4: Nov 8th - 13th 2027 (Denmark)
• Module 5: June 19th - 23th 2028 (Denmark)

Graduation Day will be hosted in Denmark on June 23rd 2028 unless another date is given.

Modules in Denmark take place at "Sonnerupgaard Gods", Tølløsevej 53, 4330 Hvalsø, +45 46 40 95 31, (www.sonnerupgaard.dk). The location of the 3rd Module will be on a location abroad that will be informed about in time as we settle this.

Please be aware that each Module starts around 07:00 am CET on Day 1 and end around 17:00 pm CET on Day 6. Please arrange flights and other transportation according to these time frames as this will be the mandatory part of module programs for all trainees.
