Proudly shaping tech genius since 2017

At TechTrain, we are on a mission to inspire future generations to become tech leaders, not just tech consumers. That’s why we design programs that are engaging, dynamic, and fun. With every lesson, TechTrain learners build new skills and grow in confidence.

Vision

A world made better by technology, driven by a generation of discerning practitioners, innovative entrepreneurs, and ethical leaders, possessing the skills to shape our shared future.

Mission

We exist to provide 21st-century learning for 21st-century challenges. As Industry 4.0 evolves before our eyes, TechTrain is committed to enabling young learners to be empowered, equipped, and thoughtful tech leaders, rather than passive tech consumers.

A brief history of TechTrain

TechTrain's journey begins

In 2017, recognizing digital literacy as an essential new skill, TechTrain was established as a curricula provider to meet the demand of international schools and language centers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. By designing bespoke learning pathways mapped to international standards in tech education, the team gained invaluable insights, and forged a lasting culture of quality. In 2019, driven by desire to directly ensure student outcomes and end-customer value, TechTrain evolved from curriculum provider to physical school with its own best-in-class coding and STEAM-based learning center in HCMC.

Practicing what we preach

COVID-19 brought unprecedented uncertainty to the world. And we were not immune. With a beloved student community, and after consulting available data, intuition, and most importantly, our core values - problem-solving, adaptability, resilience - we resolved to face the storm head-on. TechTrain evolved once again and moved online - an undeniably tumultuous period of transformation - forced, fast, and fraught with challenges. A strong, cohesive team emerged from this metamorphosis to carry our offering to regional markets, where TechTrain's Mission and offerings have resonated strongly, not least the new learn-from-anywhere learning format.

TechTrain Virtual Academy goes international

We believe knowledge knows no bounds. With a curriculum founded on the STEAM learning approach, developed by our own expert team, TechTrain proudly delivers creative tech programs across 3 continents and counting. Safe, quality-focused, and fun, our coding, 3D modeling, and game development programs are thoughtfully designed for virtual learning, allowing exploration of new horizons from anywhere. The TechTrain experience is not only exciting for students but remarkably convenient for families; learning and creativity are now unleashed from the comfort of home!
