This is a reimbursement program for course and continuing education expenses for reindeer herders in Norway. The program provides refunds for course fees, continuing education, as well as travel and accommodation costs related to attending courses and educational activities. The course or continuing education must contribute to developing and/or further developing competence for practicing reindeer herding. The reindeer owner must have their own approved reindeer mark and belong to a siidaandel or reinlag (reindeer herding unit). The leader of the siidaandel to which the applicant belongs must have a taxable sales income from the sale of reindeer meat with their own mark of at least NOK 50,000 excluding VAT, unless the leader meets the conditions for receiving establishment grants. Applications must be submitted within 6 months after the course is completed.
