Why Study at Skills Academy?
In the last few years, we have built quite the reputation for ourselves. Here we strive to give South Africans a second chance to achieve their dreams. And how do we do that? With the help of distance learning, specially designed courses, and the best academic support team. Here’s why you should study with us:
Quality Education
At Skills Academy, we strive to bring our students only the best. We don’t skimp on quality when it comes to education. From our great study material, to great tutors, our students get their money’s worth and more to help them on their journey to success.
Accredited Courses
We are licenced to offer accredited courses in partnership with some of the best institutions in South Africa. Our accredited courses are recognised locally. That means, students can further their education once completed. These qualifications are also recognised by recruiters and may increase your chances of getting a job.
Non-Accredited Programmes
Now you have a fair shot at getting the education you deserve. Our non-accredited courses are skills-based. They aim to give students with no experience a chance to enter the workforce. The skills you will get will help you step into a job with ease.
Excellent Academic Support
We are committed to excellence. Our academic support team consists of lecturers and tutors who go above and beyond. We have a high response rate and good reputation when it comes to answering our students. While most university or college students have to wait days for a reply from their lecturers, our students can often expect to receive an answer the same day.
Study Without Matric
Never finished matric because you had other responsibilities that needed your attention? Well now’s your chance to finally pay yourself forward. There are many grade 10 required courses you can complete without a grade 12 certificate. All you have to do is find your interest and sign up.
Fast and Reliable Study Material Delivery
You won’t be left waiting for weeks to get started. We pack and send your study material on the same day you enrol. Plus, our parcel tracking system means you’ll always know where your books are.
Personalised Student Onboarding
We don’t just welcome you—we walk with you from the start. From WhatsApp greetings to one-on-one welcome calls, our onboarding is designed to help you feel at home and ready to learn.
Support That Reaches Out First
At Skills Academy, we don’t wait for you to contact us. Our support team checks in with you monthly, helping you stay motivated and on track. Questions? We often resolve queries on the same day.
Feedback That Keeps You Moving Forward
We believe in quick feedback so you can improve faster. That’s why we offer same-day assignment handling and automated academic updates to help you see your progress in real time.
Flexible Payment Plans
Worried about your budget? Don’t be. We offer clear, affordable payment options designed to work with your financial situation—no hidden fees, no nasty surprises.

How to get Started
Getting started is always the hardest step. Where do you even begin? It is normal to have many questions and concerns, because your future is at stake.
Discover Your Passion
Find out what it is you are truly passionate about and what you’re good at. Make sure that you’re also realistic about it. For example, are you passionate about the arts? But realistically speaking, you’re not good at drawing? You can still explore the creative field, and a better option would be considering photography.
Do Your Research
Before making a commitment, do your research. Find out what skills and qualifications you need for your dream job. The next step will then be to find out if you meet the requirements to enrol for a course. Job portals and blogs are your best best when it comes to job research. You can also study newspapers to look at trends, and fill in gaps when it comes to scarce skills in the job market.

Once you’ve made your decision, you can speak to a course expert to help you register. If at this point you still don’t know what you want to study, then a course expert will help you make that decision.
