Swiss Excellence. Digital Innovation. Global Education

The Swiss Institute for Vocational Training in Technology (SIVT) builds on over 15 years of Swiss expertise in ICT education and professional training.

The founder established his first ISO certified training company under the name Rafisa Informatik GmbH in Switzerland in 2009, focusing on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and successfully guiding hundreds of learners into technology careers. Over the years, the company has grown steadily and now operates across seven locations throughout Switzerland, providing high-quality, practice-oriented ICT training to learners and professionals.

In recognition of its contribution to “Education and Innovation,” the founder’s Swiss institution was invited to represent Switzerland at the Swiss Pavilion during the World Expo 2021, showcasing Swiss quality and innovation in education.


Through this success, the foundation was laid for SIVT — an international institute dedicated to bringing Swiss vocational excellence and digital innovation to a global audience.

Today, SIVT brings this legacy of Swiss precision, structure, and practical excellence to the United Arab Emirates, offering industry-aligned programs in ICT.

A Message from Our Founder

Education has the power to transform entire industries. With Swiss discipline and a global vision, SIVT prepares learners not only to adapt to technology, but to shape it.
