Theory for the Trade Certificate
With a trade certificate, you secure documentation of your competence, which provides reassurance for both you as an employee and your employer.
«I received good counselling from AOF Vestlandet – Agder, and thought that if I was going to take a certificate in transport and logistics, I might as well take two. It’s been demanding, but also very educational and fun.»
Rune Mikal Veim, certified logistics operator and professional driver
Advantages of taking a vocational certificate:
Once you’ve passed the final vocational exam and received your vocational certificate, your skills will be considerably enhanced. You will be even more confident and self-reliant in the work you do, and you will be more attractive in the labor market. Other benefits that can follow a vocational certificate are:
- Strengthen your career opportunities
- Provides opportunities for greater challenges and more exciting work tasks
- Make you a more attractive employee for your employer
- Increases your opportunities for advancement
Implementation organized for adults
As an adult, you can take a vocational certificate without being an apprentice, and you do not need to take common subjects such as Norwegian, maths, English, etc. to take a vocational certificate.
You must be able to document 5 years of relevant work experience in the trade in a 100% position and have completed and passed a theoretical exam. The work experience can be «earned» through 10 years in a 50% position or something in between.
The training is compressed. This means that we target the training towards the subject and that fewer hours are needed to reach the goal. We believe that you, with your life and work experience, possess so much relevant expertise that, together with good quality teaching, you will achieve your goals.
The training is at the upper secondary school level and is based on the same curricula used in public upper secondary schools, but is specially adapted to adults and is based on the knowledge and experience you already have. Teachers use a variety of learning strategies and methods to maximize adult learning.
The online courses use Teams for audio-visual teaching. It’s easy to use and everyone who starts with us will get all the help they need from our support team.
You can complete the training and take the theoretical exam before all your work experience has been accumulated. Once you can document enough work experience, you can register for the practical exam. The order doesn’t matter – what’s best for you right now?
