Centrum Trafikkskole

What Centrum Trafikkskole does

Centrum Trafikkskole (legal name: Centrum Asker & Bærums Verk Trafikkskole AS) is a privately held Norwegian driving school established in 1992 and headquartered at Bankveien 11 in Asker, approximately 30 km south-west of Oslo. The company delivers mandatory driver education and licensing preparation for Norwegian Class B (manual and automatic transmission), Class BE and B96 trailer extensions, and the foundational Trafikalt grunnkurs (basic traffic course), along with supporting courses such as night driving, first aid, and skid pad training. It serves the Asker and Bærum municipality area, with a particular emphasis on individual learner drivers under and over 25 years of age, and offers English-language support for expatriates navigating the Norwegian licensing process.

The school's product offering follows the four-stage Norwegian driver education curriculum (basic competence, traffic proficiency, safety course on track, safety course on road) and is priced through fixed-fee packages (e.g., 21,330 NOK for the full Class BAut package, 11,450 NOK for BE, 8,300 NOK for B96) plus per-hour driving lessons (980 NOK for 45 minutes, 1,350 NOK for 60 minutes) and vehicle rental for the official practical exam. Operations are supported by the TABS administration platform and TABSelev student portal, which handle scheduling, feedback, messaging, and payments; the mandatory on-track safety course is delivered at the NAF skid pad in Eggemoen/Hønefoss. Revenue is generated entirely through direct-to-consumer fees (one-time course, lesson, and exam-rental payments), with pass-through government fees for Statens vegvesen collected on behalf of the authority.

The business is operated by a small team (the firmographic count is 10 while four personnel are explicitly named: Ali, Bernt, Gina, and Charlotte), led by a professional leader/instructor and supported by additional certified instructors covering trailer classes. Distribution is omnichannel but local: in-person office visits, direct SMS/phone instructor contact, email, the website booking calendar, and the TABSelev portal. The school is a member of Norges Trafikkskoleforbund, the Norwegian Traffic School Association, and relies on a referral program ('verv en venn') as a primary acquisition lever alongside organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram).
