About TeenSkills and Peak Mastery
Young people have always lacked basic skills. Most of us struggled
and learned the hard way. But today, the traditional safety nets
like welfare, bankruptcy, unions, lifetime work, and pensions are
disappearing. To prepare our youth for this changing, challenging
world, we partnered with Pikes Peak Learning Company in offering
you The Peak Mastery Series Of Learning Courses.
What is TeenSkills.com?
A compilation of entertaining, attention-capturing life skill resources
for teens, TeenSkills.com is an online coach, giving young people
motivation, confidence and responsibility through exploring and
practicing real life situations. Kids with different backgrounds
and abilities will discover how to take the right steps towards
being on their own.
Our interactive Peak Mastery Courses teach your teen the crucial
concepts necessary for safe and successful independence. Our students
work at their own pace, in a customized and confidential learning
environment that is constantly updated and upgraded to ensure they
receive the best information available. Students learn:
- The value of education in their own life.
- Their own values and how they can contribute to society.
- A mission, purpose and direction for their future.
- How today's choices create that future.
- New skills, assets and confidence.
Our independent living courses for teens cover how to determine
goals for the future and establish lifestyle expectations. Students
explore education and career choices, and learn how those decisions
impact their ability to achieve their goals. They learn about college
entrance requirements, how to create a resume and interview for
a job.
These dynamic life skills modules teach teens how to purchase and
maintain a car, obtain insurance, and create and live within a budget.
They will learn how to find, furnish and maintain their own apartment
or house.
Wouldn't it be great if your teenager could learn real-life skills
for independence in the safety of your own home? Wouldn't you love
to know your son or daughter will transition to independent living
with a solid knowledge base of life skills? Peak Mastery can give
you that peace of mind!

Knowledge Factor
Knowledge Factor is the originator of CBA - Confidence-Based Assessment
(tm) - a new way to measure knowledge as an accurate predictor of
individual and organizational performance. CBA measures true knowledge
or competency - what a person actually knows vs. what they think
they know - and identifies where there is doubt or misinformation.
Launched in September of 2000, Knowledge Factor was established
with a focus on developing processes, tools and systems to create
effective and engaging assessments for delivery over the Internet.
Upon acquiring a proprietary assessment tool that had been developed
over a decade of research, Knowledge Factor focused its efforts
on closing the knowledge gap for learners as well as developing
approaches to targeted learning (see their
web site to learn more about Knowledge Factor).
