OUR HISTORY

In 2014, our remarkable journey began with Anita. Her vision laid the cornerstone for what would evolve into a transformative company, dedicated to altering destinies and uplifting communities. The core of our mission was clear – to help aspiring young students achieve their dreams as skilled artisans.

Anita's unwavering dedication laid a foundation that would pave the way for an inspiring tale of empowerment. From the beginning, our students took center stage, becoming the driving force behind our every effort. Today, that same principle remains the elusive secret to our ongoing success.

At OAA, we extend our reach to the unskilled plumbers and electricians of tomorrow, providing them with the tools to transform their lives. We welcome artisans who seek an introduction to these dynamic fields, opening pathways that lead to promising futures.

Our comprehensive courses encompass a spectrum of training, catering to both the novice and the adept. From introductory modules to advanced learning, we sculpt a curriculum that nurtures proficiency and mastery. And that's not all – our commitment extends to preparing candidates for the Red Seal trade test.

As we reflect on our journey, we celebrate the milestones and the lives touched along the way. From Anita's vision to our current standing, the story of OAA is one of growth, empowerment, and the realization of dreams.
