Do you love good food, and want to master everything from Pad Thai to advanced Michelin cuisine?

NB! In this school you choose 2 Main Courses! You get a greater variety and can customize your year even more. Look at the possibilities.

We will explore amazing flavors! Our teacher has experience from several Michelin restaurants and will teach you methods and techniques to make all the exciting dishes you dream of.

Norway's most influential TikTokers in the field of cooking (August og Martin) will have a course in content production for social media. And we will have our own fun cooking competition, inspired by "Kokkeskolen", the reality show that was filmed at our school.

Beginner or experienced? Doesn't matter. You will learn from the best. Do you know how to make homemade butter chicken, pad thai or Sushi? Or how you can make a delicious 5-course dinner where the entrecote is perfectly cooked, and the sauce makes the guests beg for more? How about delicious desserts such as panna cotta or Créme Brûlée?

Too many students eat miserable food, because they lack the ideas to cook the food they really want. At EAT, you will learn methods and techniques for making all kinds of dishes. From traditional Norwegian to Mexican, Italian, Thai, Indian, sushi, Middle Eastern, French, barbecue etc.

Being able to cook is perhaps the most important skill you need for a good life. These skills will give you joy for the rest of your life.

The EAT class travels to Japan to explore their food culture.

This is how it works at our school:

  • At Verk Folk High School, international students are not placed in separate classes. Instead, they are fully integrated into regular classes alongside Norwegian students who speak both Norwegian and English.

Our experience shows that this creates real friendships and helps students learn the language faster and more naturally.

  • That is why "Norwegian for Foreigners" is not a separate study line, but an additional course for those who want to learn Norwegian.
  • This means you can freely choose from our wide range of main courses, without limitations.

What makes Hurdal Verk even more unique is that all students take two main courses, not just one. This allows you to combine different interests, enjoy greater variety in your school year, and meet even more people — giving you a richer social and learning experience.

  • When you apply, you select your Line 1 and Line 2, and simply add Norwegian for Foreigners if you want Norwegian language training.
