Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before enrolling in a Microlek Skills Academy course.
Do I need any prior experience to enrol?
No prior experience is required for Beginner courses (BT101–BT116). Our Beginner series is designed for complete beginners. Intermediate courses (IT100–IT131) benefit from basic technical knowledge. Advanced courses (AT101–AT113) require prior repair experience as they cover board-level diagnostics.
Are the courses online, in-person, or both?
Both. Our Academy online courses (academy.microlek.com) are fully online with pre-recorded video lessons and live Zoom sessions. Our Deals courses (deals.microlek.co.za) include in-person practical sessions at our Pretoria training facility. The Full Training Course (FT100) requires in-person attendance in Pretoria for practical sessions.
What certificate will I receive and is it recognised?
All courses award a Microlek Certificate of Completion — Microlek's own independent credential, benchmarked against international training standards including the UK's BTEC National Certificate and Australia's Certificate II in Computer Assembly and Repair. This is not a government-recognised (NQF/SAQA) qualification. Every certificate has a unique verification ID employers can confirm online.
