Sonans Gruppen, Norway’s market leading operator of exam re-take colleges (primarily helping former students achieve sufficient grades in high school exams to be able to access their preferred higher education course or career) was acquired by EMK in December 2017. Under EMK ownership Sonans expanded into higher education and rapidly grew its online operations.

Sonans has an exceptional reputation for improving candidates' exam results with almost 90% of student survey respondents having achieved the results they needed.

EMK exited from the investment in February 2021 via a listing on Euronext Growth.
