Mid-degree students at UCT, AFDA, Red & Yellow, Wits and ICA. Trained full-time in exactly what you need. Lower prices because they're students. The quality isn't.
"You're getting someone who trained for this, who wants to add your project to their portfolio, and who is going to show up and do their absolute best. That motivation is worth everything."
Why Skillza Works for Clients
These aren't hobbyists. They spend every day studying and practising the exact skill you need.
You pay for the skill, not a layer of account managers and overhead. Rates are set by the students themselves.
Every provider uploads their university student card before going live. No anonymous strangers, no guesswork.
A 30% deposit locks in the booking. You don't pay in full upfront, and students don't work without commitment.
Showing 8 verified students
Browse and book in minutes with no account needed. The deposit system means students always show up, and you are never paying blind.
Skillza is launching lean. No login needed to book. All communication happens via WhatsApp. Deposits go directly between parties via EFT or SnapScan. Secure in-platform payments and student dashboards are coming in Phase 2.
Every provider uploads their university student card before their profile goes live. Your university already did the hard ID work. We make that trust visible to clients.
Student cards require enrolment verification to issue. Every provider is a real, currently enrolled student at a recognised SA institution.
Clients know who they are booking. Students get a verified badge that signals professionalism before they have said a word.

You are already good at this. People are already asking you to do it. Sometimes for free, sometimes for exposure. Skillza gets you in front of clients who are ready to pay, and makes sure every job you do now builds a career, not just a favour bank.
Pick up jobs when it suits your schedule. A shoot on Saturday, a logo between exams. Real income from skills you are already developing.
Work a paying client briefed, approved and vouched for. That is what gets you hired after graduation.
Managing client expectations, delivering under pressure, handling real feedback. Ten jobs teaches you more than a semester of theory.
Your reviews and completed jobs do not disappear when you leave. They travel with you into every interview and every pitch.
Free to list forever. Student Card verification required before your profile goes live.
