How it works

From sign-up to compliance pack in three steps

WhatsApp or form-based sign-up for learners and SMEs.

Attendance, payslips and reporting handled automatically.

3

Central M&E dashboard with exportable compliance packs.

Why Skills Connect

Built for compliance-heavy training programs

One central M&E dashboard

A single view across every project, so there is no more chasing spreadsheets from separate providers.

WhatsApp onboarding + CV verification

Automated CV verification alongside low-friction WhatsApp sign-up flows.

Isolated, secure architecture

Each project runs on its own protected data environment, so learner records stay isolated between programs and providers.

Low monthly pricing

From R85/project + R25 per M&E seat/month. Transparent and predictable.

Time, Not Paperwork

We give training providers back the one thing compliance eats. Time.

Every hour spent on paper registers, manual payslip math, or chasing a wrong phone number is an hour not spent on learners. Skills Connect exists to give that time back.

What We Take Away

  • Paper attendance registers
  • Manual payslip calculations
  • Month-end scrambles for UIF and funder reports
  • Chasing learner phone number errors by hand

What We Hand Back

  • Automated attendance and compliance packs
  • One dashboard across every project
  • Funder-ready reports in one click
  • Verified learner data from day one
434 learners uploaded and validated for CHDA

12 phone numbers were automatically corrected before go-live, so funder reports were accurate from day one.

FAQ

Common questions

How is learner data validated and secured?

Learner records are checked for consistency on upload (e.g. phone number formatting) and flagged automatically for correction. Data is stored in an isolated, project-specific structure to protect learner privacy.

What does Skills Connect integrate with?

Skills Connect runs on GoHighLevel for CRM/workflow, with project-specific sub-accounts and an isolated, secure data layer to keep each program's records separate.

How long does onboarding take?

A Phase 1 MVP pilot is typically delivered within one month of kickoff.
