Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about our barber courses, schedules, certificates, and logistics in Oslo, Norway. If you do not see your question, use the form below and our team will respond within 1 business day.
Where are the courses delivered in Oslo?
All training takes place at our studio on Torggata 13, Sentrum, 0181 Oslo. The venue is a short walk from Oslo Central Station and is connected by tram and bus routes serving Greater Oslo. We occasionally run on-site workshops for salon teams within the Oslo metropolitan area upon request.
What is the typical class size?
We keep cohorts intentionally small — usually 6 to 10 participants — to ensure ample instructor attention during demos and hands-on rotations. This ratio works well for fade drills, scissor-over-comb practice, and straight-razor guidance common in Oslo barbershops.
Do I need prior barber experience to join?
No. The Foundational Barbering course suits complete beginners. Working stylists in Oslo often choose Fade & Taper Mastery or Beard Design & Shaving for targeted upskilling. A short skill check during enrolment helps us recommend the right path for you.
What schedules are available across Greater Oslo?
We run evening cohorts on weekdays and weekend blocks at our Sentrum studio to fit busy rosters. Start dates rotate monthly, with additional on-site dates for salons across Greater Oslo subject to demand and studio availability.
Are models provided, or should I bring my own?
We mix mannequin drills with live models. For live model nights in Oslo, you may invite friends or book through our model pool. All sessions include safety briefings, consent steps, and hygiene controls aligned with Norwegian best practices.
Which tools and products should I bring?
For most modules you will need clippers with guards, trimmers, scissors, combs, sectioning clips, and a straight razor with blades. We share a detailed kit list on enrolment and provide sanitation supplies and capes at our Oslo studio. Limited loaner kits are available on request.
Is there a certificate recognised in Oslo?
Yes. After completing the practical assessment and portfolio review, you receive a Fjord Barber Academy certificate with documented CPD hours. Graduates commonly use this for trials and applications in barbershops across Greater Oslo.
How do payments work, and which currency do you use?
All invoices are issued in NOK (Norwegian krone). Payment options and due dates are outlined with your enrolment confirmation. For employer-sponsored places within Oslo, we can invoice your company directly once a purchase order is received.
What if I need to reschedule or pause my cohort?
If you notify us at least 7 days before your module starts, we can usually move you to the next Oslo cohort without extra fees. For mid-cohort changes, we help you transfer to a matching session time, subject to availability. Full details are shared during enrolment.
Do you offer private or salon-team training in Oslo?
Yes. We run tailored workshops for salon teams across Greater Oslo — from taper systems and debulking speed to razor prep routines. Share your goals via the form below, and we will propose an on-site plan with clear outcomes and timings.
How do you handle my personal data and cookies?
We collect only what is necessary to process your enquiry and enrolment. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and activate only with consent in Norway. You can change your choice anytime via “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Is the studio accessible and how do I get there?
Our Torggata 13 studio has step-free access at the main entrance. Paid parking is available nearby, and public transport from Oslo S, Jernbanetorget, and Stortinget stops serves the area frequently. If you need additional assistance, contact us before your first session.
