Masterclasses
These are BOTI's three-hour live online masterclasses: one focused session on Zoom (or Microsoft Teams) for a single person, a team or a whole organisation of up to 500 people. Each one is a sharp cut of a full BOTI course - the part people use most - with exercises on screen, electronic handouts (a PDF workbook, templates and a one-page summary sent before the session) and a BOTI certificate of attendance by email.
Prices are per delegate and fall as the group grows, and a masterclass never costs more than R40,000 for the whole group on Zoom or at your premises - whether 12 or 500 people join. At BOTI's venue, or with BOTI laptops, the normal venue and laptop costs are added. Pick a public date or book the session privately for your own team, on a date and time that suit you, with your own examples.
