Core offering

NHO Elektro Oslo og omegn is a local employers' association serving approximately 270 member companies in the electro, automation, ICT, and electronics trades across Oslo and surrounding municipalities. It provides competence development through courses (FSE, NEK 400, hot work, fire sealing, dangerous tools, personnel lifters, work at height), networking through seminars and trade trips, and operates the Prøvestasjon exam station at Kuben Yrkesarena. Through its subsidiary Opplæringskontoret for elektrofag Oslo og omegn (OKEO), the organization coordinates apprenticeship training for approximately 1,000 apprentices in electrician and telecommunications installer trades.

Product overview

NHO Elektro Oslo og omegn is a local employers' association and training coordination organization for electrical companies in the Oslo region, not a technology product company. The organization operates two interconnected services: the Opplæringskontoret (training office) that coordinates apprenticeship training for approximately 1000 apprentices across member companies, offering intro courses and four two-week professional gatherings; and the Prøvestasjon test station at Kuben Yrkesarena for conducting journeyman exams for electricians and telecommunications installers. Additionally, they provide various safety certification courses including hot work, fire sealing, dangerous tools, personnel lifters, and work at height, as well as regulatory compliance courses covering FSE and NEK 400 standards.
