About us
Skills story stared in the last century, in year 1996. At that time we were the only training company in Serbia. During last 27 years we were working hard on new skills and knowledge adopting and development.
At Skills, we combine knowledge, skills, passion and innovation. We are constantly finding ways to further develop people. Our impressive customer list (400+ companies) is the best recommendation we can have!
We are especially proud that we have not advertised for 27 years, we did not have a single advertisement to look for trainees. We received most of our clients (87%) via referral.
In our view, human development equals business development. This is a key component of the success of any company. By training employees and developing their skills, companies achieve a significant comparative advantage in the market.
We had more than 63.200 participants at our trainings. Young people, who are in the beginning of their careers, those who are in training for the first time or experienced managers in the highest positions in their companies, have all used our innovative and practical way of training, which we are especially proud of.

Skills experience
Change is constant. Challenges never stop. We have resources and skills to drive organizations and individuals forward in every business environment, as well as help them develop in any time of change. Individuals, teams, organizations can benefit from our unique educational approach based on practice and experience – „Skills learning experience“.
Based on our 27 year experience, we discovered that the most efficient training is still happening in classroom, where knowledge is generated from exchange of real people facing the real life experience.
Here you will always find trainers with relevant experience of the topic he is teaching. Skills is not ''one man band''. Skills trainings are performed by professionals in their specialized area, they average 17 years experience in their expertise. This is why they are able to look at the issues from different angles and to offer significant advise and support.
Our trainers, all 15 of them, are not “teachers“ – they are practitioners in relevant area, focused to things that matter the most in real working situation. Participants to our trainings agree that the trainers make the difference, they rate our trainers 4,9 of maximum 5 points. Besides, your employees are learning together with colleagues from your organization, exchanging insights and knowledge.
There is not „New skills app“ It is something that you have to experience, exercise, something that needs attention for details when it comes to situation to make the difference. There is nothing that can substitute learning through practice; Skills has never advertised, our satisfied clients are our best ad.
We are experience in working with multinational companies and foreign team, our trainings and Team Buildings could be performed in English!
Spending two or three days on training could seem a lot, however, if you take in consideration that this is the time dedicated to real new skills adopting, than it is time and money well spent.
Don't forget: We don't teach – we improve business results.
