Aftenskolen is a non-profit foundation that helps adults acquire new skills through the state study association scheme. We offer several different courses within Norwegian language training, vocational training and continuing education – something we have done since 1952.
Search for the course you want, or use the menu to browse through the different types of courses we have.
To sign up for a course, you just need to find the course you want to join. Then click on the course and choose the time and place. All payments are made when you sign up - or via invoice afterwards.
At Aftenskolen we have different types of Norwegian courses (from A0 to B2), various vocational certificate courses, and other work-related courses. Our courses have either physical or virtual sessions and can be both asynchronous and in real time.
A location-based course is a course where you physically meet in a classroom at a specific time. Online courses (or virtual classrooms), on the other hand, are digital. The teaching is still “live,” but it is either streamed from a classroom, or everyone meets in a digital classroom (Zoom, Teams, Google Meets).
In other words, you can take courses that are in virtual classrooms from home.
When the courses are asynchronous (i.e. not in real time), we call them online courses.
Our online courses usually consist of short film clips of 1 to 5 minutes of carefully planned content. We build the courses to have a progression, so you build knowledge brick by brick. Some courses include assignments, challenges and final exams.
How long you have access to an online course varies from course to course, but in most cases you have access for 6 months after you have purchased it.

Yes, your employer can pay for the course. All you need to do is sign up as usual. When you get to the payment, just select "Send to another address" and enter your employer's invoice details.
