Access Software Academy

Access Software Academy

Last year we launched our first Software Academy in Timisoara with 25 people. Seeing how successful it has been and how much value was added to the company we are happy to announce a new Access Software Academy will start in October.

Our teams in Timisoara and Arad have a wealth of experience training graduate talent and we have the benefit of having several lecturers for the Politechnica University and West University in our staff, including the Dean of the Politechnica University in Timisoara, Florin Dragan and the Dean of the University of Arad, Marius Tomescu.

What will we offer you in the new Academy?

The ‘Access Software Academy’ will provide you with an introduction to our company’s ambitious plans & approaches to transforming our products, customers, users, and our own business into the cloud.
