Who We Are
Excellent Training Services = Your Success
The World is facing change as it has never experienced before. The
arrival of digital technology and 4IR has revolutionized the business world.
The number of provider and courses available – traditional and online – has
mushroomed and people are being fed loads of information through social media
platforms, having to decide what they believe and what they don’t. Audiences
have so much choice today. Consumers now also have digital internet and social
media with which they can augment their entertainment, education and shopping
experiences. And now, we have a “new normal” where working from home is highly
encouraged, as the working world adjusts their homes and their lives. We have 5 generations working together in the
workplace and some are leaving without transferring their knowledge and skills.
The country needs new skills – skills that have never existed before. Learning
needs a new approach, with new knowledge and new competencies. People entering
the workplace, as well as those already working, need educational institutions
that researches change and future trends; that draws on those with the
hands-on, up-to-date experience; and that can see what skills will be needed
years in advance. Combined Skills Group will connect you with the right
training and the right trainer. We offer coordinating, facilitating, training,
mentoring, mediating, assessing, moderating and presenting services. CSG also
offers Skills Development consultation to assist clients with planning and
implementation of various learning programmes and internships.

Natalie is a manager seldom found in terms of style and effectiveness. She has a visionary approach to management. Most visionaries do not have a focus on implementation. But Natalie is also an implementer. She identifies opportunities and make it work. She is energetic, committed and implement with graciousness. She leads people purposefully and inspire others to follow. Time and effort is never an issue. And she gets what she wants! A great manager and a great leader.

Natalie presented the Train-The-Trainer/Coach course to our candidates in George and Cape town. The candidate feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The sessions whether presented online via Zoom or in person were professional and empowering. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her and her services.

I met Natalie during the 'Virtual Leadership Skills’ seminar that she led and facilitated with excellence. The seminar was informative and mind provoking. Natalie demonstrated her mastery of the subject matter through an exceptionally well presentation, keeping the audience engaged throughout the session. As businesses continue to optimize it processes, effective management tools and frameworks should be adopted to ensure seamless achievement of smart goals – and Natalie is the person who can help companies in understanding and applying these.
