E-learning
156 self-paced online courses on BOTI’s own learning platform – for one learner, a department or the whole organisation, with progress reports, certificates and a South African team behind it.
E-learning works when it is easy to run and worth finishing. BOTI hosts the full library on its learning management system, loads your people within a working day, tracks who has started, finished and passed, and issues a certificate of completion for every course. Buy one course for one person, a subject bundle for a team, or the whole library for the company – and step up to a blended programme with a live BOTI facilitator when a topic needs one.

How it works
Why organisations use it
- Mandatory training, evidenced. Ethics, harassment, safety, cyber security and POPIA awareness completed and reported – with completion records you can hand to auditors and your SETA.
- One price per learner. No venues, travel or lost days, and the same content for every branch and shift.
- Onboarding from day one. New staff start learning on their first morning, not at the next scheduled course.
- Microsoft Office for everyone. Essentials to Expert in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access and OneNote – the same ladder as our classroom courses.
- A step up when you need it. Every subject is also a live BOTI course, on site or online, and blended programmes combine the two.
- Your own content, too. Policies, procedures and inductions loaded as courses on the same platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is the training accredited?
The library courses are non-accredited short courses; learners receive a BOTI certificate of completion for each course. For credit-bearing training ask us about our accredited qualifications, skills programmes and unit standards.
How long do learners have access?
Single courses and subject bundles: 6 months from enrolment. Subscriptions: for the whole term, with unlimited course completions.
Can we put our own material on the platform?
Yes. Your policies, procedures and inductions can be loaded as courses, and we can build them for you from your documents (custom course development).
How do we see who has completed what?
The platform reports progress, completion and assessment results per learner and per group; export them for your Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report.
Can we try it first?
Yes. Ask for a free one-week trial for up to five people on the courses you choose.
Can we mix e-learning with live sessions?
Yes. Blended programmes combine self-paced modules with live virtual sessions led by a BOTI facilitator – the usual choice for leadership, sales and management programmes.
