General:
1.1. The school is anti-racist, apolitical and non-religious. Inlearn is proud to accept all students for who they are, regardless of what they look like, believe in or who they love. Students and teachers come here to learn and not to convince others of their beliefs or convictions.
1.2. Both teachers and students should work in pleasant conditions. Quarrelling, swearing and using offensive language are not tolerated. We expect everyone in our school to treat each other with respect. Do not laugh at or criticise other classmates’ mistakes. Remember that everybody is here to learn.
1.3. Course registrations are limited to students celebrating 18 years of age or more during the calendar year in which the course in question is taking place for classroom course and 15 years of age or more for online courses. Students under this age limit will not be admitted to our courses. For all students under the age of 18, the course agreement (“kursavtale”) must be signed by their legal guardian or parent. Exceptions can be made in dialogue with the parent / guardian.
1.4. Inlearn provides courses in Norwegian and Social Studies to both students who are covered by the Norwegian introductory program and those who are not covered by the program. Both groups of students must pay for courses as Inlearn is a private provider of Norwegian lessons.
1.5. It is forbidden to smoke inside the building. Persons smoking outside the building are asked not to throw any cigarette ends or anything else on the building stairs or around. Persons caught smoking inside the building will be charged a fine of 500, – NOK.
1.6. Persons under the influence of alcohol and/or any other substances will be asked to leave the school with no right to compensation for missed lessons.
1.7. Violation of rules #1.1.- #1.6. will be followed by an official warning; repetitive behaviour will ultimately lead to expulsion from the school with no right to any refund of the value of the remaining classes of the participant’s course.
1.8. Teachers are there to help the students within the school’s syllabus. They do not translate letters or other texts, nor do they fill out application forms, etc. The teacher’s task is to teach according to the Norwegian syllabus.
1.9. There may be information on our websites that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. Inlearn reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information on the websites at any time, without prior notice.
Courses and lessons:
2.1. All courses are taught purely in Norwegian with fast progression, unless a course description states otherwise.
2.1.1. The length of our courses is stated in lesson hours per session. Our lesson hour lasts 45 minutes.
2.1.2. Our courses and the school are approved by Kompetanse Norge. Particular rules apply to persons covered by the Introduction Act. If you are entitled or obliged to complete hours of approved tuition, you must inform the school about this when signing up for a course. The school cannot issue certificates with approved hours if you have not requested this before the course start as the process requires mapping your skills and requirements beforehand.
2.2. Everybody is expected to come to class on time (at the latest five minutes before the scheduled start time), regardless of the nature of the session (incl. drop in). When someone is late, he/she will disturb others in the class and distract the teacher.
2.3. Mobile phones need to be switched off or changed to vibration mode before the course start. If a student is expecting an important call, please sit near the door and leave the room to answer the call. Show consideration to ongoing lessons and please keep your voice down throughout the school to keep disturbance to a minimum.
2.4. Questions regarding the lesson should be asked during the lessons. The teacher has the right and duty to rest during breaks.
2.5. Any administrative questions, for example, regarding course dates, fees or school opening times should be directed to the reception, not to the teachers.
2.6. (Does not apply to One-Year Programs) Changing from one course group to another during a course due to external and unexpected circumstances (e.g. illness of a close family member) can be arranged but will be charged with an administration fee. The course participant will continue lessons in another group equal to the one they had to quit, from the point where he/she ended lessons in the old group. Changing the course group can be arranged ONLY after the reception has received a valid reason in written form and it has been approved by the school (i.e. doctor’s note regarding illness). The school does not accept course change requests by phone.
The fees for changing a course are as follows:
2.6.1. Students are responsible for signing up to the correct course level. To estimate your level, you may take a free placement test with Inlearn at school to assess your level before signing up for a course. If you sign up for an incorrect level due to your own mistaken estimate of a course level, you will be charged applicable course changing fees for changing your course level, see rules #2.6., #4.3. and #4.4.
2.7. If the student is no longer able to participate in the course due to illness, he/she needs to present a doctor’s note to the reception to be allowed to change to another course group free of charge or have the remaining hours of the course refunded. The refund amount will be calculated from the day the school received the documentation (NOT from the date that is stated on the document). A deductible administration fee of 50% will be deducted by the school.
2.8. Participants may purchase additional lessons in other groups, so called drop-in classes, on the condition that there is a place available. The price for drop-in sessions is 600, – NOK per session.
2.9. For courses which are on special offer, the conditions of the given promotion apply. Each participant is expected to make themselves acquainted with the general school regulations before enrolling in a course even if it is on special offer. Promotions cannot be combined with other discounts/promotions.
2.10. A scheduled course will start when the required minimum number of participants has signed up and confirmed their participation. The school reserves the right to cancel or postpone a course when the number of confirmed participants is lower than required. The school also holds the right to change/adjust start dates, times and teachers.
2.11. Participants taking part in 1-on-1 individual lessons and drop-in sessions can postpone a lesson at the latest 24 hours before the scheduled meeting. In cases where the school is notified too late or in case of a no-show, the participant will be charged for the missed lesson.
2.12. Our courses progress at a fast pace and require familiarity with the Latin alphabet. Courses are taught in the same language that is being taught and suits students on Spor 3 (fast track).
2.13. At the end of each course, each participant who has completed more than 80% of the course content, will receive a digital course certificate. A hard copy of the certificate or any additional documentation (such as confirmation of Norwegian level or confirmation of partial course attendance etc.) can be requested in the school’s reception for a 100, – NOK administration fee. For a certificate of approved hours, see rule #2.1.2.
Registration and payment:
3.1. Participants are personally responsible for checking whether they are covered by the Norwegian introductory program and for providing Inlearn with correct data during the registration process. Inlearn does NOT take responsibility for incorrect or incomplete personal information provided by participants during the registration process. Please address all questions concerning the introductory program to UDI.
3.2. A registration for the course is binding, when the school has received one of the following:
a) A completed online registration form through Inlearn’ s website;
b) An e-mail which includes the applicant’s full name, address, phone number, date of birth, the name and start date of the course, and a confirmation that he/she has read and accepts Inlearn’s regulations.
c) A completed and signed course agreement (‘kursavtale’) which is available in the school’s reception.
3.3. Participants are responsible for providing a correct e-mail address. Inlearn cannot be held responsible for administrative emails (course links, homework, etc.) being diverted into the participants’ spam folder. All participants need to ensure that inlearn.no is not marked as spam.
3.4. Participants are responsible for providing Inlearn with updated information on telephone number, e-mail address, home address and any other important changes in personal data.
3.5. If the course fee is not being paid by the applicant, but e.g. an employer or host family, the third party needs to confirm this in writing to the school. If such confirmation has not been received by the school, the applicant will be held responsible for covering the costs for his/her course.
For all classroom courses:
3.6. After the course registration is confirmed, an e-mail or letter with detailed information about how to make the payment for the course will be sent to the applicant. The course fee must be paid at the latest on the payments due date (‘betalingsfrist’).
3.7. The invoice for the course can be paid:
– using an online bank account (‘nettbank’)
– at the post office or in the bank
– with a credit card (Visa or Mastercard)
– in cash at our school within the reception’s opening hours (an additional fee of 85,- NOK will apply for each invoice)
3.8. It is important to bear in mind that most banks charge additional service fees when receiving international bank transfers. Inlearn does NOT cover these additional costs: the service fees plus any fees charged by the course payer’s own bank are to be covered by the course payer.
3.9. For all courses (except the One-Year Programs) the total course fee must be paid AT THE LATEST ONE DAY before the course start. Inlearn reserves the right to ask for a proof of payment on the first day of the course.
3.10. The full course fees for our One-Year Programs must be paid within 10 days of receiving the payment information letter (see rule #3.6.). The student’s admission to these programs is only confirmed after the payment of the full course amount (additional bank service fees NOT included) has been recorded on Inlearn’ s bank account. 10% of the course fee for our One-Year Programs are administration fees and are as such non-refundable.
3.11. If desired, an official letter confirming the admission to the course can be sent to the student, e.g. in order to apply for a visa (more information to be found under the paragraph ‘Visa and Student Deposit Account’). This letter will only be sent after the payment of the full course amount (additional bank service fees NOT included) has been recorded on Inlearn’s bank account. See rule #5.1. for more information. This rule will in this case supersede rules #4.3. and #4.4.
3.12. Registration for a course, either through the internet or by course agreement (‘kursavtale’), is binding. However, in certain situations Inlearn does allow participants to resign from a course registration list before the start of the course. See paragraph ”Resignation and Cancellation fees‘ for detailed information.
3.13. If the participant on the date of the course start decides that they no longer wish to participate in the course, he/she will nonetheless be obligated to pay the full course amount as stated on his/her invoice/payment information letter.
3.14. Invoices/payments which are not paid by the due date (‘betalingsfrist’) will be processed in accordance with Norwegian law and the amount due will be registered in the Norwegian debt collection office (‘Inkasso’). The ‘Inkassobyrå’ is an external institution that calculates and charges late fees and accrued interest in addition to the main claim.
3.15. Inlearn reserves the right to withhold the participant’s course certificate (‘kursbevis’) after the last lesson, if the participant’s course has not yet been paid.
For all online courses:
3.16. You can purchase Norwegian online courses via Inlearn’s official online store www.inlearn.no. You need to provide your email address, your name, billing address and a valid phone number before making any purchase.
You can pay for the Norwegian online courses by using:
– A credit card
– Vipps
– AfterPay (for companies only)
You will receive an order confirmation by email for your purchase.
Resignation and Cancellation fees:
4.1. Norwegian “angrerett”: Registrations carried out on Inlearn’s website are subject to the Norwegian «right to withdraw» (Angreretten) kap.6 § 20. The withdrawal deadline is 14 days (as in kap.6 § 21) from the day the course participant receives the email confirming the registration. The sent withdrawal form may be filled out and sent in at the latest on the day of the deadline. The form can be sent by email to [email protected], or by mail to Tollbugata 8, 0152 Oslo. According to § 26 of “Angreretten”, the participant is obligated to pay for all sessions held before the date of exercising the right to withdraw.
Registrations carried out on Inlearn’s premises are subject only to Inlearn’s own resignation conditions:
4.2. Resignations for courses are only accepted when they are presented on time in a written form, either by e-mail, through the school’s website or delivered to the reception. The school does not accept any resignations over the phone. A registration for a course will be considered as binding until a written resignation is received by the school.
4.3. Inlearn has the following policy regarding resignations and changing courses (does not apply to visa applicants):
4.5. Any interest accrued on funds held in any of Inlearn’s bank accounts is the sole property of Inlearn AS.
Visa and Student Deposit Account:
5.1. Applicants who need an official Admission Letter from the school in order to apply for a visa/permit are obliged to pay the full course fee (additional bank service fees NOT included) before such a document will be issued and sent. This rule supersedes rules #4.3. and #4.4. regarding course resignation/changing courses and fees linked to course resignation/changing courses.
5.1.1 Your payment is considered an “open payment” and is valid for 12 months. If you are not able to join the course that you signed up for, you have the right to cancel the course you signed up for, 8 or more calendar days before the course start date, for free. You can rebook the course to any other course without any fee. However, if you choose to complete the level with more expensive courses you will be charged the difference. Your payment includes a 35% non-refundable cancelation fee. You will be refunded 65% of the course fee only in case your visa application is denied (you will need to send us a copy of the letter from UDI confirming that your visa was denied).
5.2. Applicants who are granted a visa/permit based on admission to a course at Inlearn in order to learn Norwegian are obligated to obtain a minimum attendance of 80 % of the course’s content.
5.3. If the visa application is rejected/denied, Inlearn will refund the course fee to the applicant, after having deducted a 35 % cancellation fee.
5.4. The refunds from rule #5.3. will only be carried out after Inlearn has received a scan/copy of an official letter from the Norwegian Embassy, Consulate or UDI, which states that the visa application has been rejected/denied.
5.5. Inlearn can never guarantee that a student will be granted a visa; Inlearn is thus not liable in the event of visa refusal or expiry.
5.6. It is up to the applicant to find out about the possibilities and requirements regarding visa. This can be done at the local Norwegian Embassy / Consulate or at the Norwegian Immigration Department (www.udi.no). Inlearn only provides information about its school and courses and not about visa regulations and conditions.
5.7. The following rule regarding course resignation applies to registrants who have applied for a visa: Registrants who require a visa, have been admitted to a course/program, and have received a Letter of Admission can only resign if his/her visa application is rejected/denied. No other resignations are accepted.
5.8. Inlearn Norway has established a Student Deposit Account (from now on referred to as SDA) for course applicants who need to store a certain amount of money in a Norwegian bank account to apply for a visa/permit. The deposited amount is in Norwegian currency. The SDA is available ONLY for applicants who have signed up for a minimum of 96 hours of coursework and require a visa/permit.
5.8.1 The full course fee and the deposit amount due to be paid to the SDA are two separate items. The course fee is NOT a part of the deposit amount.
5.8.2 Students are obliged to open a personal bank account in their name in a Norwegian bank within three months after arrival in Norway. ONLY after the student has presented official documentation from the bank that a new account has been established in their name, will Inlearn Norway transfer the full deposit amount from the SDA to the student’s Norwegian personal bank account.
5.8.3 The amount in the SDA cannot be moved until the visa is either approved or rejected.
5.8.4 Students will be responsible for all transaction fees incurred during the transfer of the amount from one account to another.
5.8.5 Other than the transactions outlined above, Inlearn Norway does not allow ANY other transactions to be made on the SDA.
5.8.6 In the case of a refund, Inlearn Norway will only transfer the full deposited amount from the SDA to the original bank account from which it was deposited. The applicant cannot claim the accrued interest on the course fee and deposit, and are responsible for all the transfer fees.
