Participating in
International Courses
KOLD college
All educations and courses at Kold
college are linked by the concept
“from soil to table”.
Kold college was founded in 1889
as part of Dalum Agricultural College.
In 1979 the college was separated
from the agricultural college
and established as an independent
dairy college, named Dalum Technical
College. The college got its own
board and its own principal, and focused
on covering all educations from
soil to table.
In January 2004 Dalum Technical
College merged with the horticulture
college Soehus. The merger was
named Dalum Education Centre, but
since December 1st 2008, the name
has been KOLD college.

dairy production. The teachers visited
dairy companies in Norway, Sweden,

At Kold’s Dairy Training Centre the
international aspect has played a major
role for years and is an integrated
part of the daily work. Numerous
courses and contacts worldwide bring
inspiration to the college.
