Paul Mitchell Academy – Curs Frizerie

The Paul Mitchell Academy in Bucharest, on Strada 11 Iunie, runs a two-month barbering course alongside its hairdressing programmes. The list price is 3,500 lei with a promotional rate of 2,000 frequently advertised, and an instalment option of a 500 lei deposit plus two payments of 1,500. Classes run Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:00 to 16:00, and the academy publishes dated intakes with enrolment deadlines, which makes planning straightforward.

The course is described as an intensive practical programme covering modern cutting technique, artistic work and professional salon skills. Two things beyond the course itself are worth knowing: graduates are offered employment through a partner salon, and a specialisation course is available at the Paul Mitchell academy in Rome, which is an unusual progression route for this market. On credentials, the academy describes a diploma authorised and certified by the Romanian ministries of education and labour, the wording of a genuine certificate of qualification, but publishes no authorisation number or provider registration to support it, so ask for that specifically.

On Romanian credentials: the mark that matters is ANC authorisation, a course authorised under Government Ordinance 129/2000 yields a certificat de calificare recognised nationally and across the EU. Several Romanian academies advertise a ministry-certified or internationally recognised diploma without naming an authorising body or publishing an authorisation number. That is not proof of a fake, but it is not proof of ANC authorisation either, so ask for the number in writing before you pay.
