criticism
At the beginning of November 2007, the main owner at the time, Rune Tedfors, came under fire from the TV channel TV4 , which criticized the fact that it had become a multimillionaire thanks to the tax-funded school fees. In addition, there were irregularities in school operations, so students received grades for courses that they did not attend.
