How One Woman Turned Microsoft Skills into a Lifelong Mission to Empower Others
In 2003, Jackie made a life-changing decision. After years as an Executive PA in corporate South Africa, she saw an opportunity to use her Microsoft Office expertise to help others — not just in boardrooms, but in homes, small businesses, and classrooms.
She earned her MOUS certification and launched Comp-U-Train, a tech training company based in Johannesburg.
Her goal? To offer quality, personalised computer training that meets clients at their challenge point — whether they’re 6 or 86 years old.
Jackie’s approach is simple yet powerful: assess each client’s needs, deliver customised lessons, and provide easy-to-follow notes that make learning stick. Her clients trust her not just for her skills, but for her empathy, patience, and long-term support.
Today, Comp-U-Train is a trusted name in tech education, offering everything from Microsoft Office training to emotional intelligence workshops. Jackie’s story is proof that passion, purpose, and people-first thinking can build a business that truly makes a difference.
