About CSB Academy
CSB Academy is a vocational and technical training institute based in Beirut, licensed by the Lebanese Ministry of Education under License 2017-142. Alongside its accredited academic programmes, the institute operates a professional training division that works directly with employers.
That division is the subject of this portfolio. It exists to help organisations build technical capability in their own workforce — preparing staff for recognised industry certifications, closing specific skill gaps, and supporting teams through technology change.
Programmes are taught by engineers who work in the field: security operations leads, cloud and network architects, DevOps engineers and software specialists currently practising in industry. Training is built around hands-on work rather than lectures alone, so that what a participant learns transfers back into their day-to-day role.
Two distinct offerings
Academic / VTE programmes
Officially regulated vocational qualifications (BT, TS, BP) for full-time students. Referenced here only as institutional background.
Professional & corporate training
