Welcome to Microlek Skills Academy

Africa’s skills economy is growing — and qualified electronics and mobile repair technicians are in critical demand. At Microlek Skills Academy, we have spent over 18 years closing that gap, one graduate at a time.

We are a MICT SETA-accredited private Skills Development Provider (SDP) — the first and only institution in Africa to design a comprehensive, structured training programme specifically aligned to the Electronics Repair qualification. This is not a generic course. Every module, every practical session, and every assessment was built from the ground up by subject-matter experts with decades of hands-on industry experience.

Our programmes cover everything from mobile phone and smartphone repair, tablet and game console diagnostics, laptop and computer repair, to advanced micro-soldering at chip level. Whether you are an individual learner looking to launch a new career, a company investing in your team’s technical capabilities, or a SETA-funded learner seeking an accredited qualification — Microlek is your home.

Since 2007, we have trained 600+ learners across all nine provinces of South Africa and several African countries, with a 95% programme completion rate. Our graduates are employed in repair centres and telecoms businesses across the continent — or have launched their own thriving repair businesses.

And when you complete your training, your journey does not stop there. We support you with post-training mentorship, access to professional repair tools and equipment through our online store (shop.microlek.co.za), and job placement guidance — because we are invested in your success beyond the classroom.

The African tech repair industry needs qualified technicians. Microlek Skills Academy trains them.
