SAMPLE FEEDBACK FROM THIS COURSE
"As soon as I got a feel for the agenda, I was completely convinced I had made the right choice.
It was the single best thing I did since I moved to Norway. The whole course was one series of ‘lightbulb moments’ one after another explaining
things I had missed, misunderstood and otherwise just didn’t ‘get.’ If you have a chance to take the course, I’d highly recommend it!”
Jennifer Tierney Sveigdalen, Oslo
“Thank you very much! The depth of understanding I now have has already in just a few hours eased an awful lot of pent up frustration from my soul!
It may sound obvious, but believe me, having someone from the inside explain this in such an in depth, yet easily relatable manner is worth gold!
I would recommend all non-Norwegians working in Norway to attend this course.”
