Course history

Introduction

Passing a professional examination is one of the conditions for obtaining authorization as a nurse. The Directorate of Health has on 05.06.2019 decided that you who complete the education at OsloMet fulfill this additional requirement through SKOMP3000.

The program contains all additional requirements that are required for authorization as a nurse. https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2016-12-19-1732

However, you must apply to the Directorate of Health for authorization as a nurse after completing your education.

Required preliminary courses

Studiet «Veilederutdanning for praksislærere i barnehage» gir formell og praktisk kompetanse i ulike veiledningsfunksjoner. Studiet har fokus på læringsprosesser, ulike tilnærminger til veiledning, på kritisk analyse og etiske utfordringer i veiledningsprosesser. Egenutvikling og refleksjon over veiledning og vurdering knyttet til praksislærerfunksjonen står sentralt. I studiet vektlegges dessuten barnehagen som læringsarena.
