At SkillsLink, my focus is on delivering instructional design and eLearning solutions tailored to the needs of South Africa’s occupational education sector. Drawing on my extensive experience, I’ve led the creation of accreditation-ready materials and online courses that are both engaging and effective. Our recent accolade, the Best Product or Service Overview Video for the Eco Ranger Skills Programme, attests to our commitment to elevating training standards.

With a background in environmental education and nature conservation, I’ve honed my skills in corporate training strategy and curriculum development. My hands-on approach in research and development has steered SkillsLink to become a respected name in instructional design. We are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge training materials that empower learners to achieve their full potential in the workplace and beyond.

SkillsLink’s approach to education is centered on fostering critical thinking, leadership, and decision-making skills in learners. Our courses aim to navigate the complex social, economic, and political structures of today’s world, promoting inclusive and sustainable development. We are committed to empowering vulnerable groups, including women, youth, and rural communities, by providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in their respective fields (Smith, 2020; Jones, 2019).

I am very adventurous and love meeting new cultures across the world, like this video of my holiday with my then girlfriend, Julia, as we mountain biked over 700km across the Himalayas in India in 2012, including the world’s highest navigable pass. You can watch it below. You won’t see much of me because I am behind the camera.
