Summary/Abstract: Lately, in Romania, a lot of campaigns for promoting the entrepreneurship were initiated, which led to a development of the knowledge about business and companies. The role of the schools was the most important in these campaigns as there were many students interested in entrepreneurship. This led to the emergence of a new notion, “training firm“. This concept was used for the first time in Romania in 1996, as a new teaching method, following the Austrian model. This represents the model of a company, with educational purpose. Between 1997 and 2001 in Romania there were a few training firms and they didn’t have a direct connection with the international network. Starting with 2001 the number of training firms has increased so that, nowadays, there are over 5000 firms registered in the national agency ROCT – Centrala Reţelei Firmelor de Exerciţiu/Întreprinderilor Simulate din România.
