| Who issues the certificate? | European Trade Academy, as an ANC-authorised vocational training provider in Romania. | Often a private provider with no formal authorisation. |

A small school
focused on real work.
European Trade Academy is the vocational training brand of Neophron International SRL, a Romanian limited liability company. The academy was founded to address a single problem: the persistent gap between theoretical vocational education and the practical capability that Romanian and EU employers actually need on day one.
Our mission is to authorize, train and place workers in trades on the official COR shortage list. Our philosophy is workshop-led: sixty to seventy percent of every programme is supervised practical work, in real conditions, with real materials, alongside trainers who have worked the trade themselves.
Twelve welding bays (MMA/MIG/TIG), extraction, plate and pipe practice rigs.
Outdoor masonry, concrete and carpentry yard with covered work bays.
Eighteen-station hot line, pastry section, service-pass mock-up dining area.
Live-water test wall, pipe-bending and copper-soldering practice stations.
Twenty-two years on Romanian and German shipyards. EWF International Welding Specialist.
Former sous-chef at two Bucharest hotels. AHLA-certified culinary instructor.
Civil engineer (UTCB). Coordinates the carpentry, masonry, concrete and plumbing programmes.
PhD in Vocational Education (SNSPA). Oversees curriculum and ANC compliance across all twelve programmes.
Bucharest · the centre of Romanian vocational training.
Our campus and student residence are in the southern Bucharest educational district, near established workshop districts and major transport links to the cities where our graduates are placed.
