Tekwill Academy

What Tekwill Academy does

Tekwill Academy is an IT and digital skills training platform operated by the Moldovan public institution "Instituția Publică Centrul de Instruire și Inovații TIC-TEKWILL," which is also the operator of the Tekwill/iHUB innovation hub in Chisinau. The platform delivers approximately 27 courses across programming, software design, QA/testing, IT management, and non-IT verticals such as accounting and content creation, with selected AI-themed offerings including Agentic AI and Generative AI for UI/UX. Courses are delivered in a hybrid format combining Zoom online sessions with in-person classes at Tekwill/iHUB facilities, and are priced in Moldovan lei (MDL) between 2,500 and 14,300 MDL per course.

The business model is a mix of direct-to-consumer paid tuition and corporate-sponsored training. Individual learners purchase courses directly, while employer partners — including OTP Bank, maib, Coherent Solutions, ISD Moldova, Sigmoid, and Pentalog — fund cohorts or specialized academies for their staff, and the platform also operates as an Oracle University Authorized Center for Java Fundamentals and SQL. Additional commercial reach is achieved through the EBRD-supported IT Business Factory, where Tekwill Academy co-delivers Digital Marketing and Customer Experience courses for SMEs and early-stage founders. The platform reports more than 5,500 graduates to date and is bound to the Moldovan market, with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding.
