1What are Mesterbrevnemnda's application fee and annual fee for a mesterbrev in 2026?
A.NOK 1,280 to apply and NOK 1,980 a year
B.NOK 1,980 to apply and NOK 1,280 a year
C.NOK 850 to apply and NOK 2,500 a year
D.No fees; the scheme is paid by the state
Explanation: Mesterbrevnemnda's 2026 fees are NOK 1,280 for the application (behandlingsgebyr) and NOK 1,980 for the annual fee (årsavgift). If the annual fee is not paid within one month after a demand, the right to the title lapses (mesterbrevloven § 5).
2A ventilation firm gives notice to a 56-year-old technician who has worked there for 12 years. What is the minimum notice under arbeidsmiljøloven § 15-3?
A.One month
B.Three months
C.Five months
D.Six months
Explanation: Arbeidsmiljøloven § 15-3 (3): after at least 10 years' continuous employment, the employer's notice is at least four months from age 50, five months from age 55 and six months from age 60. The period runs from the first day of the month after notice is given.
3Under arbeidsmiljøloven § 10-9, what breaks must a technician have on an eight-hour working day?
A.Breaks totalling at least half an hour
B.No breaks are required below ten hours
C.One break of at least an hour, unpaid
D.A 15-minute break every two hours
Explanation: § 10-9: a worker must have at least one break if the working day exceeds 5.5 hours, and breaks must total at least half an hour if the working day is at least eight hours. If the worker cannot freely leave the workplace during the break, or there is no suitable break room, the break counts as working time.
4What does internkontrollforskriften require of a ventilation contractor?
A.Annual safety courses for all staff, with no written routines
B.Systematic HSE work, with key points in writing
C.A written HSE manual only for firms with 10 or more staff
D.An external HSE audit by Arbeidstilsynet every year
Explanation: Internkontrollforskriften requires enterprises to work systematically to meet the HSE rules, with goals, organisation, risk mapping, avvik routines and review documented in writing (§ 5 points 4–8).
5Which body awards the mesterbrev in Norway?
A.Direktoratet for byggkvalitet (DiBK)
B.Mesterbrevnemnda
C.Standard Norge
D.The county authority (fylkeskommunen)
Explanation: Mesterbrevnemnda, a board under mesterbrevloven, administers the scheme, approves the mesterutdanning plans and awards the mesterbrev.
6Under arbeidsmiljøloven § 10-6 (1), when may a ventilation firm use overtime?
A.Whenever the client wants the job finished sooner
B.Only with written approval from Arbeidstilsynet
C.Whenever the workers agree to do extra hours
D.Only for a particular and time-limited need
Explanation: § 10-6 (1): work beyond agreed working hours must not be carried out unless there is a particular and time-limited need (særlig og tidsavgrenset behov). The overtime limits and the 40 % supplement then apply.
7A ventilation firm is to install and service heat pump coils that contain fluorinated refrigerants (F-gases). What do the rules require?
A.Only a fagbrev in ventilasjonsteknikk for the installer
B.Only that the equipment maker holds a certificate
C.Only a certificate for the firm, not for each worker
D.Certificates for both the workers and the firm
Explanation: Miljødirektoratet's guidance under produktforskriften requires F-gas certification for work on fixed refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump systems: personnel must pass a theoretical and practical test, and the firm (even a sole trader offering services) must hold a company certificate. The study plan names certification and safety for work on systems with refrigerants.
8A 3.5-tonne air handling unit is to be lifted onto a roof by mobile crane. What should be done before the lift?
A.A noise survey of the building under NS 8175
B.A safe job analysis (SJA) with the crane crew
C.A check that the roof membrane is under warranty
D.A written notice to Arbeidstilsynet a week before
Explanation: High-risk, non-routine work such as a heavy rooftop lift calls for a safe job analysis (SJA), reviewing the lifting path, exclusion zones, roof load, wind, overhead lines and fall hazards, and agreeing measures before the lift.
9What is the difference between selvkost and salgspris for a ventilation job?
A.Selvkost covers materials only; salgspris adds labour
B.Selvkost is all costs; salgspris adds the profit
C.Selvkost includes MVA, while salgspris excludes it
D.Selvkost is the tender price; salgspris is the invoice
Explanation: Selvkost is the full cost of the job: direct costs (labour, materials, transport) plus a share of indirect costs. The salgspris adds the firm's profit to the selvkost. Both are normally calculated excluding MVA.
10Why must social costs (sosiale kostnader) be added to the hourly wage when pricing a technician's time?
A.To pay the employees' union fees for them
B.To cover the running costs of the firm's vans and tools
C.To cover holiday pay, arbeidsgiveravgift and pension
D.To build up a reserve for future price rises
Explanation: Social costs cover the employer's statutory and agreed costs on top of wages: holiday pay, arbeidsgiveravgift, occupational pension (OTP), occupational injury insurance and sick pay in the employer period. Without them the hourly price will not cover the real cost.

Mester i ventilasjonsteknikkfaget: Suggested Study Strategy

1Organize study around the three official areas: Bedriftsledelse, Faglig ledelse i byggfag, and Faglig fordypning in ventilasjonsteknikkfaget.
2Learn the TEK17 energy measures for ventilation, such as SFP and heat-recovery efficiency, together with the airflow requirements for indoor climate.
3Practise balancing and commissioning as documentation tasks: measured airflows must be recorded and handed over.
4Know the certification and safety rules that apply when work touches refrigeration circuits or electrical installations on machines.
5Treat these questions as concept checks and confirm assessment instructions directly with the education provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mester i ventilasjonsteknikkfaget title?

Mester i ventilasjonsteknikkfaget is the protected Mester title for ventilasjonsteknikkfaget under the Norwegian Mesterbrev scheme. Mesterbrevnemnda awards the credential to applicants who meet the education and trade-practice requirements.

What are the main eligibility requirements?

Applicants need a fag- or svennebrev in ventilasjonsteknikkfaget, Mesterutdanningen or another accepted education passed with grade D or better, and either at least six years of practice in the trade or at least two years after the trade test.

What does the Byggfag Mesterutdanning cover?

It covers Bedriftsledelse, Faglig ledelse i byggfag, and Faglig fordypning in ventilasjonsteknikkfaget. Faglig ledelse has six modules from the building industry to handover documentation, and Faglig fordypning follows six themes in the 2025 plan, adding sizing and control of systems and professional responsibility to building applications, design, calculation, and handover documentation.

What is the official assessment format?

Mesterbrevnemnda does not publish one national fixed question count or duration. Bedriftsledelse has a final individual assessment by an internal and an external examiner, and the Byggfag plans require a final individual assessment of both Faglig ledelse and Faglig fordypning by an internal and an external examiner, graded A–F. Grade D or better is needed to apply for the Mesterbrev.

How much are the 2026 Mesterbrev fees?

The ordinary application processing fee is NOK 1,280 and the annual fee is NOK 1,980. Tuition charged by an education provider is separate, and the annual fee is required to use the Mester title and emblem commercially.

Does this bank reproduce the official language or format?

No. Mesterbrevnemnda publishes the national study plans in Norwegian but does not publish a definitive assessment-language list, so no official delivery language is inferred here. This is independent English-language multiple-choice practice for the published topics, not an official translation or format simulation, and it cannot replace the provider's assessments.
