IT Academy STEP Cambodia marks its 10-year anniversary, a decade of empowering thousands of students and building Cambodia’s digital future.


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.”


Shaping Cambodia’s digital future
As Cambodia continues its digital transformation, the demand for capable IT professionals keeps growing. IT Academy STEP Cambodia plays a key role in preparing young Cambodians to thrive in this new era, equipping them with the knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and professional mindset that modern employers seek.


By offering a mix of short courses for quick upskilling, professional programs for career development, and corporate training for businesses, the academy supports the country’s vision for a modern, knowledge-based economy.


Looking ahead
As IT Academy STEP Cambodia celebrates this milestone, it looks ahead to the next decade with pride and ambition, to grow further, make a stronger impact, and continue shaping Cambodia’s digital future.


"At IT Academy STEP Cambodia, every success begins with one step, and together, we keep stepping forward."

How to Become a Software Developer in Cambodia (No Experience Needed)

A practical guide to become a software developer in Cambodia with no experience: what to learn first, what juniors actually earn, and how long it really takes.

You do not need a computer science degree or a genius-level brain to become a software developer in Cambodia. You need a plan, a few hours a week you can protect, and enough patience to keep going after your code breaks for the fifth time in one evening. Phnom Penh's tech sector is still young. Banks, telecoms, startups and agencies are hiring people who can build software, and many are hiring juniors because the senior talent pool is small. That is an opening. Here is an honest roadmap.   Step 1: Pick One Language and Stay With It The most common beginner mistake is switching languages every three weeks. Pick one and go deep for at least six months. Python is the friendliest starting point. The syntax reads almost like English; it is used everywhere in AI and data work, and you can build something useful within a few weeks. JavaScript is the alternative if you want to see results in a browser immediately. Whichever you choose, learn the same fundamentals: variab

Best IT Courses in Phnom Penh: How to Choose the Right Program for 2026/2027

Comparing IT courses in Phnom Penh? See how to choose the right program and explore 4 international diploma majors at STEP Cambodia. Classes start Nov 2026.

Searching for IT courses in Phnom Penh can feel overwhelming. Every school promises a bright future in tech, but programs differ enormously in depth, recognition, and what you can actually do when you finish. Here is a quick guide to choosing well, plus a look at the four professional diploma programs opening at IT Academy STEP Cambodia for 2026/2027, with the first classes starting this November.   4 Things to Check Before You Enroll Accreditation. A certificate is only as valuable as the institution behind it. Look for MoEYS accreditation and diplomas you can officially verify. Portfolio, not just exams. Employers care more about what you can build than what you scored. The best programs end every term with a real project: a website, an app, a brand book, a dashboard. Starts from zero. A well-designed program requires no IT background. Finishing high school and basic English should be enough. Real tools, flexible schedule. You should learn industry-standard softwa

After High School in Cambodia: 4 Tech Careers You Can Start in 2.5 Years

IT Academy STEP Cambodia is now open for admissions 2026–2027. Discover 4 Professional Diploma programs: Software Development, Computer Graphics & Design, Digital Marketing, and Digital Business & AI. No prior tech experience needed.

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. Neither option tells you clearly what the job market actually wants. A Professional Diploma from IT Academy STEP Institute is a different path. It is not a local certificate. It is issued by IT Step Institute,

Inside Our Free 3D Design Workshop at IT Academy STEP Cambodia

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. The shape is mes
