Platform

An operating system, not another module

SkillsCortex is designed as one platform that connects institutions, people, programmes, funding, learning outcomes and opportunities through governed workflows and actionable intelligence.

SkillsCortex

People · Processes · Evidence · Money · Outcomes

Govern & Plan

Sector plans, institution structures, policy, accreditation and delegated authority. Human authority and scoped access connect each handover.

Architecture

Six layers, one platform

L1

Experience

Role-based workspaces for principals, educators, guardians, officials, funders, providers and employers.

L2

Workflow

Configurable, governed workflows with approvals, SLAs and work queues.

L3

Rules & policy

Tenant-specific rules for admission, assessment, progression, funding and payment.

L4

Record

Longitudinal learner, staff, institution and programme records.

L5

Evidence

Attendance, assessment, moderation and payment evidence linked to outcomes.

L6

Intelligence

Rules, optimisation, statistical models and AI reasoning with human oversight.

Connected workflows

Every step knows what happens next

Platform trust

Governed by design

Built for sensitive learner, staff and funding data. We describe design principles, not certifications we have not confirmed.

Multi-tenancy

Intended tenant boundaries for each SETA, authority or institution; operational isolation requires verification.

Access controls

Role- and scope-based access down to district, school or class.

Auditability

Design scope: versioned records of who changed what, when and why; operational controls require verification.

Privacy

Consent management and designed alignment with POPIA principles.

Configurable policies

Rules for admission, assessment and funding set per tenant.

Human approvals

Sensitive decisions always require an accountable person.

Integration design

Proposed API-first exchange; no live connector is verified by this website.

Intelligence & orchestration

OneCortex

Document review, workflow assistance and evidence-grounded insight.

Integrations

Integration-ready by design

  • Payroll & HR
  • Payment platforms (e.g. PayMesh, where confirmed)
  • Employability platforms (e.g. HustleHub API, where confirmed)
  • Identity & single sign-on
