Mission
We aim to provide the brightest technical minds with the opportunity to look at IT from a different angle.
A well-functioning and smart-built infrastructure is the driving power of successful modern organizations.
You need to look at it end-to-end, besides pure software development. So first, get a clear view of the components, landscape, technologies – all building blocks that empower people and companies to achieve more through technology. Then – decide where your passion for IT lays.
At TBS Academy, we offer this knowledge and nurture the next-gen highly skilled system engineers.
The Academy is available in Bulgaria but will be expanding to TBS’s other locations.
