Graphic Design has the two qualities I want to explore academically: intellectuel/logical and creative/artistic, where most majors rarely have a good balance of both. It challenges a student to develop their artistic skills to create something that's not only attractive but also useful in the modern world. And the best part is that you are encouraged to challenge the norms, as long as your methods works.
What do you think, makes the Academy special?
Professionalism and Friendliness. The Academy's staff members are very welcoming and eager to help the students from the day one. And their system is very well organized and modern, for students to learn effectively and efficiently. As long as you're willing to work hard the staff members are there to cooperate and support. They find ways to make learning difficult subjects easier for you, rather than making you learn things the hard way.
What do you like most in the Academy?
The Art class, because I love drawing and painting in general and the Art class is both useful and fun.
What do you wish to tell to other Cambodian students who are thinking of studying here?
I was hesitant of choosing Graphic Design, because I was very unfamiliar with this major overall and thought that I wouldn't be able to catch up. But, all the anxiety is gone just a few months into the course, as the teachers are really encouraging and eager to help and the staff members are great at notifying the students about everything required while studying at the Academy. As long as you are willing to work hard and persevere, you will grow remarkably. Seriously, you just need to come to class daily and have fun exploring the topics related to design and you'll see improvements in your creativity before you even realise it.
Would you recomend the Academy?
100% yes, if you feel the need to pursue an artistic career, enjoy working with people from different areas of life from business owners to Youtubers.
The demand for professional IT education in Cambodia continues to grow rapidly. More students are looking for practical, career-focused programs that prepare them for real jobs in the digital economy. Due to strong enrollment interest, IT Academy STEP Cambodia is officially opening two additional professional groups starting in March 2026.
These new groups are designed to provide more flexibility while maintaining the same international-standard curriculum and hands-on learning experience that STEP is known for. Seats are limited, and early registration is strongly recommended.

To accommodate increasing demand, STEP is opening:
- Computer Graphics & Design – Afternoon Group
📅 Starting March 16, 2026
- Software Development – Morning Group

Coding Is a Learnable Skill, Not a Special Talent
For many young people in Cambodia, software development still feels like a career only for “geniuses” or math experts. The truth is much simpler: coding is a skill, not a talent you’re born with. Just like learning English, design, or video editing, programming is something anyone can learn with the right guidance, practice, and mindset. Today, students from fresh high school graduates to university students are successfully learning software development and building real careers from it.
The Growing Demand for Software Developers in Cambodia
Cambodia’s tech industry is growing faster than ever. More companies, startups, and international businesses are looking for developers who can build websites, apps, and systems. Yet, many students still choose traditional majors without realizing that software development is one of the highest-paying and most in-demand careers in the market. You don’t need to be “good at
Last Sunday, January 18, 2026, IT Academy STEP Cambodia proudly held another meaningful graduation ceremony at our new Olympic branch, bringing together students, families, teachers, and leaders to celebrate one important milestone: progress earned through commitment and real skills.
This ceremony marked the graduation of two STEP programs coming together in one celebration: students from the Computer Graphics & Design program (Morning Group) and the Software Development program (Evening Group). Each graduate completed a journey that demanded discipline, creativity, and continuous learning in a fast-changing tech world.
A Message About the Future of Tech in Cambodia
The ceremony was honored by the presence of Branch Director Mrs. Natalja Rodionova, who delivered an inspiring speech focused on the growing opportunities in Cambodia’s technology and digital industries. She shared insights into how tech skills are no longer optional but essential, and how Cambodian student
Cambodian Youth Live Online
Today’s Khmer students spend most of their time on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram. This is where trends start, opinions form, and buying decisions happen. Traditional marketing like flyers or banners, barely reaches Gen Z anymore. If a brand is not online, young people simply ignore it.
Businesses in Cambodia Have Changed
Many Cambodian businesses have shifted to online selling, social media promotion, and digital ads. From small shops to large companies, they now depend on Facebook Ads, content marketing, and influencers. This means they need people with digital skills, not just traditional marketing knowledge.
Traditional Marketing Cannot Track Results
One big problem with traditional marketing is that it’s hard to measure. You don’t know who saw your banner or if it worked. Digital marketing allows businesses to track views, clicks, engagement, and sales. Companies prefer marketers who understand data and performa
