About us
The National Management School (NMS) is a non-profit organization established in 1990 to support the development and quality of formal and non-formal education and create conditions for building a knowledge-based economy and society.
Over the years, the School has developed as a center for vocational guidance, extracurricular training and qualification of young people in business, entrepreneurship and management. We also provide training services and support to adult learners, tailored to their individual and career needs and goals.
To achieve its goals, our team develops, implements and actively participates in national and international projects and initiatives for the creation, transfer, improvement and application of modern methods and approaches in education and human resource development.
Our history
The National Management School Association is the legal successor of the City School of Management for High School Students, founded in 1990 in Sofia.
In the period 1997 – 2002 the organization operated under the name “National School of Management for Secondary School Students” with regional branches in the towns of Samokov, Kardzhali, Burgas, Sandanski, Gorna Oryahovitsa and Haskovo.
The training activities and programs of NMS are organized on the basis of a cooperation and partnership agreement with the Institute for Postgraduate Studies at the University of National and World Economy.
As a result of the acquired knowledge, hard and soft skills, experience in an academic environment, contacts, career guidance and additional qualification, a significant part of our graduates continue their studies in prestigious specialties in foreign and Bulgarian universities, work in leading companies and banks at the country and abroad or successfully start their own business.
