Our school offers a cool space for our students to study and run their business, creating for the whole EA Community a comfortable, friendly culture that generates creativity and networking, for strong and long-lasting friendships and partnerships.

Theory

The entire curriculum at EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy is built around the needs of the students embarking on the adventure of their lives: starting, growing, and establishing prosperous business and projects. That is why, we focus on five learning lines, which offer the best foundation for the future entrepreneurs and business professionals.

The Entrepreneurship Learning Line covers knowledge on relevant subjects such as Entrepreneurial Core Practice and Theory, Research (Quantitative and Qualitative) or Presentation Skills.
The Team Performance Learning Line sets the playground for our students to learn how to initiate and develop entrepreneurial projects in a guided environment and practice their collaboration, cooperation, and communication skills, as well as self-reflection and forward-thinking through workshops and subjects such as Team Session and Book Reading.
The Leadership Learning Line supports the students develop personal and team steering skills, through subjects such as Dialogue, Building High Performing Teams or Interculturality.
The Creation and Commercialisation Learning Line offers our students courses to support them in recognising trends and innovations within the markets and global economy through subjects such as Business Model Innovation, Marketing, and Sales, Understanding Innovation or Futurism
The Integrated Skills Learning Line supports all other learning lines offering our students a well-rounded education with subjects such as Finance, Law, Website Design or Effectiveness of Online Channels.

Practice

Learning by doing is one of the main pillars on which our Vision on Learning stands. Applying the knowledge our students receive during the workshops in their businesses and entrepreneurial projects is a way to ensure that they also practically develop their skills and assimilate in depth the use of learned business methods and instruments.

The yearly Money Goal is a very sure way for our students to gain financial independence and prove to themselves that they are applying correctly the business concepts and tools they learned during the workshops

The Customer Visits keeps them in constant touch with their potential clients and customers, understanding them and thus being able to address their needs in a meaningful and efficient way.

The 24h Challenge is a business knowledge competition combined with collaboration skills, among all the teams within the program, based on real business challenges from Romanian entrepreneurs that lead large companies.

During all the workshops the intermediary assignments, as well as the final evaluations are focused as much as possible in applying the concepts, methods and tools on their own businesses and projects.
