Norskprøven.ai vs Alfaskolen
A certified Oslo school with a dedicated exam course vs. unlimited exam drilling for a fraction of the price.
Alfaskolen is a certified Oslo school with small downtown classes and a dedicated Norskprøven oral-prep course (A2–B1). If you learn best in a classroom with a teacher guiding you through the exam, it's a solid, reputable option. The trade-off is price and pace: their oral-prep course starts around 7,000 kr, and working up through the full course levels to exam readiness can total roughly 10,000–25,000 kr over months — all on a fixed schedule. This app is a few hundred kroner and available any hour. Different tools for different moments.
