Building capacity in the classrooms & boardrooms of Southern Africa.
Tsoso Skills & Management Consultants develops people, institutions and systems — through practical training, education consulting and organisational development that produce measurable, sustainable results.
Developmental skills, built for education.
Tsoso Skills & Management Consultants Pty (Ltd) was established in 2004 with an objective of providing developmental skills to educational institutions. Two decades later, that objective still sits at the centre of everything we design.
Our consultants move between the classroom and the boardroom — combining subject expertise with a coach's patience and a researcher's rigour, so that every programme we deliver is grounded in evidence and built for the people who will actually use it.
- Education specialists
- Researchers
- Mentors
- Life coaches
- Professional speakers
The company provides professional service which is of the highest standard, produces measurable results, offers sustainable programmes, and caters for individual needs.
Four commitments behind every programme.
Highest standard
Every workshop and engagement is prepared and delivered to a professional benchmark, not a minimum one.
Measurable results
Outcomes are defined up front, so progress and impact can be tracked rather than assumed.
Sustainable programmes
We design for what continues after we leave the room — skills that stay with staff and students.
Individual needs
No two institutions face the same pressures. Every programme is shaped around the client in front of us.
Skills programmes for people and institutions.
From strategic planning to student performance support, each offering can stand alone or combine into a full capacity-building plan.

Across the education & public sector.

- Mpumalanga Province

Reasons institutions choose us.
Practical expertise
Our team has real experience in classrooms and boardrooms, not just theory — every framework is tested where it will actually be used.
Compliance focus
We keep institutions aligned with SETA, QCTO, DHET, DBE and NSFAS, so leadership can focus on outcomes instead of exposure.
Capacity building
We upskill your staff and students for long-term impact, so results outlast the length of the engagement.
Results, in the words of our clients.
Three institutions on what changed after Tsoso got involved.
Testimonial 1 Boitseanape Technical Secondary School
“Before 2005, our school struggled with poor performance, ill-discipline, and low morale. The involvement of Tsoso Consultants, led by Dr. Tsholo Maforah, transformed our institution. Under her guidance, we rose from the 70% range to consistently achieving above 90%, culminating in a 100% pass rate in 2013. Dr. Maforah’s unique ability to inspire learners, educators, and parents alike has left a lasting impact—she truly ignites optimism and drives sustainable success.”
Testimonial 2 TUT Dean’s Office
“Dr. Tsholo Maforah’s involvement in the Mpingana Miracle Project (at Mpingana Senior Secondary School) transformed our school. From a 4% matric pass rate in 2012 to 81% by 2017, her motivational talks, creative teaching approach, and one-on-one learner consultations reignited staff morale and empowered learners to take ownership of their success. She is motivational, insightful, and truly inspirational.”
Testimonial 3 TUT Arts Faculty
“Dr. Maforah’s introduction of structured lecture series for first-year students truly transformed our Faculty. Her approach helped learners adjust to university life, boosted performance, and directly improved both the success rate and graduation rate. She is a mentor who inspires lasting results.”
