Who we are

A training partner trusted by government and industry alike

Smartkip (Pty) Ltd has been building South Africa's skills base since 2015. We design and deliver high-quality training programmes that grow professional capability, technical expertise and personal confidence, whether we are working with one person or a whole department.

"To be a globally recognised training academy that empowers individuals and businesses through innovative, industry-relevant education."

Beyond training, we are an appointed external moderation and verification partner to several SETAs. That includes a five-year quality-assurance contract with the Transport Education and Training Authority, since renewed for another five, and six years with the Wholesale and Retail SETA. When the bodies that regulate training ask you to check the standard of other providers, it tells you something about your own.
