Growing Demand for Military Training in Cyprus
November 8, 2025
There is an increasing demand for professional military training in Cyprus as citizens seek training in essential military skills. Many Cypriots choose to attend seminars abroad due to the inadequacy of training provided by the National Guard. Private military training is illegal in Cyprus under the Penal Code, with severe penalties for violators. Trainers from abroad are interested in providing their services in Cyprus, requesting changes in legislation. There is a prospect for cooperation between the National Guard and private trainers.
