This year, IT Academy STEP Cambodia proudly celebrates its 10-year anniversary, marking a decade of providing international-quality IT education to Cambodian students.


Since opening its doors in 2015, IT Academy STEP Cambodia has become one of the country’s leading IT education providers, accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of Cambodia (MoEYS) and has already educated thousands of students through its short courses, professional and associate degree programs, and corporate training.


A decade of growth and achievement
What began as a bold idea has grown into an institution with two modern branches in Phnom Penh, offering a wide range of IT training programs for both youth and professionals.


Over the past ten years, IT Academy STEP Cambodia has:

  • Educated thousands of students across many of whom are now working in the country’s growing tech and creative industry both in private and public sectors.
  • Helped graduates earn international certifications from Microsoft, Cisco, and Autodesk, as well as the nationally recognized Associate Degree accredited by MoEYS;
  • Provided customized corporate training to help Cambodian companies upskill their teams;
  • Remained true to its core values of development, quality, and success.


Words from leadership
“Our journey began with a clear vision, to make world-class IT education accessible right here in Cambodia,” said Ms. Natalja Rodionova, Managing Partner of IT Academy STEP Cambodia. “We believe, education is the most powerful investment in Cambodia’s future. Our teachers don’t just prepare students for jobs, they prepare them for life. With every course, every lesson, and every success story, we are helping shape a new generation of skilled, confident, and forward-thinking professionals who will drive this country’s development.”

“Ten years later, we are proud of what we have built and deeply grateful to everyone who believed in us.” shared Mr. Vladimirs Rodionovs, Managing Partner of IT Academy STEP Cambodia. He adds: “The journey has not always been easy, but our team at IT Academy STEP Cambodia has proven that with dedication and quality education, we can truly change lives.”

You just finished high school. Now what? IT Academy STEP Cambodia is now accepting applications for the Academic Year 2026–2027. We offer four Professional Diploma programs, each 2.5 years long, each designed around what employers in Cambodia and beyond are hiring for right now. No prior tech experience required. In the first term, all students go through English for IT and digital skills foundation courses. These are built into the program so that no student is left behind, whatever their starting point.   What Is a Professional Diploma, and Why Does It Matter? Many students finishing high school face the same choice: a 4-year university degree that costs more and often does not lead to a job in the field, or vocational training that leads to low-paying work.

Recap of our free AI Tools for 3D Design workshop at IT Academy STEP Cambodia. See what 67 students learned about AI, Blender, and the real 3D design pipeline.

On July 4, our STEP Olympic Branch was packed. 67 students showed up for our free workshop, AI Tools for 3D Animation and Product Design. By the end, one thing was clear: everyone wanted to know how AI is changing the way 3D artists work. If you missed it, here is what went down.   A Session That Actually Kept You Awake The workshop was led by Mr. Aleksei Brunov, and he kept it fun. Instead of reading off slides, he built things live. Students watched every step happen in real time, including the mistakes and the fixes. But the best part was not the tech. It was learning where AI helps, where it fails, and why you still need real skill to get a good result.   AI Can Start the Job. It Cannot Finish It. Here is the lesson that surprised most students. AI is amazing at the first step. You type one sentence and a rough 3D model shows up in minutes. Work that used to take days now takes seconds. But open that model and the problem shows up fast.
