According to NRK, the supervisory body Nokut has conducted supervision of the school and warns on Wednesday that the school may lose the right to operate further. The warning comes after an economic supervision where Nokut assesses that subsidies the vocational college has received are not used in a way that benefits the students, as required by the vocational college law. " The specific misuse of subsidies alleged by Nokut has not been disclosed, and the amount of money involved remains unknown.
Din Kompetanse Fagskole AS has a deadline until March 27, 2026 to submit its comments on the warning and Nokut's preliminary assessments. NRK has not yet succeeded in contacting the daily manager of the school, and the board leader will not comment on the case for now. The potential consequences if the school loses its operating license are unclear, and it is unknown how many students are affected by this situation.
Nokut conducts economic supervision of private vocational colleges to ensure that public subsidies are used in a way that benefits the students.
This is important to maintain trust in the subsidy scheme and that the money goes to the purpose they are intended for, namely the students and their education.
