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.
