Student Success Stories

Thapelo Kabulu

I would like to sincerely thank Thabiso Skills Development Centre you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible support, training, and knowledge you gave me during my time at Thabiso.

Before joining Thabiso Skills Development Centre in 2025 for the Catering course, I was at home doing very little and had no real understanding of catering. At that time, I only thought catering was simply about cooking food. However, through my training, I learned that catering is much more than that. I gained valuable knowledge about planning, hygiene, cost control, professionalism, and proper waste management. The practical lessons and the way everything was explained made learning enjoyable and easy to understand.

I would like to give special thanks to all the instructors (Life Skills, Basic Business and Catering) for their patience, encouragement, and support. You did not only teach us skills; you taught us discipline, professionalism, and confidence in ourselves. You helped me see that I could build a future through learning.

Today, I am proud and excited to say that I am continuing my studies at Welkom College because I want to keep building on the strong foundation I received from Thabiso Skills Development Centre. I am currently studying Chef NQF Level 5, and I honestly believe that I would not have reached this point without the knowledge and confidence your institution gave me.

I highly appreciate the work that Thabiso Skills Development Centre is doing because when I arrived, I knew nothing about catering, but today I am growing and moving forward with purpose and ambition. I am truly thankful.

Thank you once again for changing my life and giving me a strong foundation for my future. I will always carry the lessons and skills I learned at Thabiso with me.
