 What We Believe

At Skills Academy we believe in second

chances. Everyone deserves quality
education, no matter their educational
background. But not everyone has access
to learning institutions like colleges and
universities, and we bridge that gap by
providing courses via distance learning.

We offer fully accredited courses backed

by prestigious institutions like ICB, CIMA,
Saiosh, FASSET and QCTO.

Our courses are quality assured. We offer

accredited courses and non-accredited
programmes that are designed by industry
professionals. Each of our programmes
are crafted to give students the skills and
knowledge to step into the workplace with
confidence.

An Open Access entry system gives

those who never finished school a second
chance to get the career and education
they deserve. You can get started with as
little as grade 10 for an accredited course,
and no prior learning experience is needed
for non-accredited courses.
