Our Story

TechPath Cyprus Office

From Vision to Reality

TechPath Cyprus was founded in 2018 by a group of IT professionals who recognized a critical gap in the local tech education landscape. With Cyprus rapidly emerging as a regional tech hub, the demand for skilled IT professionals was growing exponentially, yet traditional educational institutions were not adapting quickly enough to meet industry needs.

Our founders envisioned a new kind of learning institution – one that would combine rigorous technical education with practical, hands-on training tailored specifically to the needs of employers. Starting with just one classroom and 15 students, we've since grown to become Cyprus's premier specialized IT training center, with state-of-the-art facilities and hundreds of successful graduates working across the Mediterranean tech sector.
