Welcome to SmartSkills - the home of simple, practical life and organisational skills essential for success at school and beyond.

If you are:
- concerned about your child’s ability to manage his or her responsibilities,
- an educator wanting to better equip learners with the skills they need,
- or simply struggling with the many aspects of your busy life, you’ve come to the right place - SmartSkills can help you!

The problems mentioned are on the increase because life has changed - departmentalised education starts from an earlier age, and IM, email and a barrage of other demands on your time makes it more difficult to cope with all that you are expected to.
These problems have little or nothing to do with intelligence, ability or the motivation to do well. They simply indicate a lack of life and organisational skills at your disposal, skills that will work for YOU!
Life is tough if you lack these skills. Self esteem plummets and you start to believe that you are not as “smart” as those around you, that you’ll never be able to “get it together” and live your dreams. Don’t believe it - every single person can unlock their potential and increase their chances for success. It comes down to finding the tools and techniques that you can apply effectively using your natural organising and learning styles.
SmartSkills offers age-appropriate skills development training via individual consultation or in group workshops, which are available for learners, educators and parents. Skills include:
- understanding your natural learning and organisational style
- paper and task management
- creating an environment for success
- understanding and managing time
- planning and goal setting
So contact SmartSkills to discuss setting up a free initial needs assessment, which can be done with or without your child present.

Currently hands-on assessments, consultations and workshops are only available in the Cape Town area, unless by special arrangement.
Every single person can learn to be organised and reach their goals – organising may never be their strength, but they will know how to use simple systems to ensure that what is needed gets done effectively and on time.
