Treider College (Norwegian: Treider Fagskoler, formerly Otto Treiders Handelsskole[1] 'Otto Treider Business School' and Treider Privatskole 'Treider Private School') is a nationwide professional school in Norway with programs in areas such as tourism, administration (for administrative secretaries, legal secretaries, and half-year courses for secretaries), and sales management (sales and services). The school was founded by the Free Church proponent Otto Treider in 1882[1][2] at Kristian Augusts gate 21,[3] and in its time it was Norway's largest and leading business school, offering courses in accounting, economics, and marketing. Treider College has premises at Nedre Vollgate 8 in Oslo and regional offices in Bergen and Trondheim.[4]
The company Treider Fagskoler AS, which operates the school, is owned by the investment company Anthon B Nilsen AS, one of Scandinavia's largest private companies involved in education.[5]
