What SCP - School Of Certified Professionals does

SCP - School Of Certified Professionals (legal entity SCPserv Ltd) is a Cyprus-based professional training provider founded in 2014 and headquartered in Limassol. The company delivers vocational and certification training across IT, soft skills, finance/compliance, and AI domains, offering more than 160 courses through a proprietary learning management system that supports both self-paced online study (ondemand.scp.ac.cy) and live instructor-led virtual classrooms. SCP has trained over 7,000 individuals on behalf of more than 1,200 corporate clients across approximately 10 countries including Germany, Greece, the UK, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Poland, Romania, the UAE, and Armenia.

The company serves a hybrid customer base of individual learners and enterprise clients, with notable enterprise customers including Tototheo Maritime, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), Elias-Neocleous & Co LLC, and Eurogate Container Terminal Limassol Ltd. SCP is an authorized training partner for Microsoft, Mile2, CertNexus, and PECB, and holds Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accredited-provider status. It is also partnered with the Cyprus Human Resource Development Authority (HRDA) for government-subsidized training and participates in the EU Erasmus+ KA2 programme for international enrolment.

Revenue is generated through per-course enrolment fees (€80–€1,600), corporate training contracts, and HRDA-subsidized programmes. The company has introduced a "100% Funded" course category and installment payment plans to widen access. While AI is heavily featured across the curriculum, including courses on AI for marketing, AI in Excel, AI for developers, and Microsoft AI certifications, AI is treated as a subject of instruction rather than as proprietary technology built into the platform.
