Looking for a supply chain management course in Johannesburg delivered to your whole team, at your premises? BOTI runs practical, in-house Supply Chain & Procurement training across Johannesburg — Sandton, Midrand, Randburg and Rosebank — so your buyers, planners and warehouse staff learn together, on real workflows, without leaving the office. We bring the facilitator and materials to you. Call 011-882-8853 or request a quote.
Why Johannesburg teams train with us on-site
Johannesburg is Gauteng’s economic engine and the head-office capital of South Africa. The corporates, financial-services groups and listed companies clustered in Sandton’s office towers, the distribution and manufacturing belt around Midrand, the established commercial base in Randburg and the agency-and-services hub of Rosebank all run complex supply chains — multi-supplier, multi-warehouse, and increasingly under cost and compliance pressure.
That concentration of head offices means procurement and supply chain decisions made in Johannesburg ripple across national operations. When a Sandton-based group tightens supplier terms or a Midrand distribution centre re-plans its inventory, the skills of the people doing that work directly affect margin. That is why Johannesburg employers invest in upskilling whole procurement and supply chain teams rather than sending one person on a public course.
In-house, on-site delivery means we train your staff at your offices or distribution centre — anywhere across the City of Johannesburg. The benefits for a Joburg employer:
- No travel, no downtime — your team trains in your boardroom, not stuck in N1 or M1 traffic to a venue.
- Real examples — we work with your actual suppliers, categories and systems, so learning sticks.
- One consistent standard — everyone from buyer to warehouse lead learns the same process, the same way.
- Cost-effective at scale — one facilitator fee covers a full team, not a per-seat public-course rate.
Prefer not to host? We also run sessions at a Johannesburg venue, and offer a live remote (virtual) option for teams split across Sandton, Midrand and other sites.
What the course covers
This is a working procurement and supply chain programme, not theory. It is built around what Johannesburg buyers and planners deal with daily and can be tailored to your sector and maturity level. Core modules include:
| Module | What your team learns |
|---|---|
| Supply chain fundamentals | End-to-end flow: plan, source, make, deliver, return |
| Strategic sourcing | Supplier selection, market analysis, total cost of ownership |
| Procurement process | Requisition-to-pay, purchase orders, controls and approvals |
| Supplier & contract management | SLAs, performance, risk and relationship management |
| Inventory & demand planning | Stock levels, forecasting, reducing tied-up working capital |
| Negotiation | Preparing for and running supplier negotiations |
| Logistics & warehousing | Distribution, transport and fulfilment basics |
| Compliance & ethics | Procurement governance, B-BBEE-aligned and ethical sourcing |
We adjust depth and emphasis to your team — a Midrand distribution centre may weight inventory and logistics; a Sandton financial-services procurement desk may weight contracts, supplier risk and governance.
Who it is for
Designed for staff and teams, including:
- Procurement officers, buyers and category specialists
- Supply chain, logistics and warehouse staff
- Demand and inventory planners
- Operations and stores managers who own supplier spend
- Finance and admin staff moving into a procurement role
- Owners and managers wanting one consistent in-house standard
It suits both newcomers building fundamentals and experienced staff sharpening sourcing, negotiation and supplier-management skills.
Certification
This is a practical, facilitator-led skills programme. Delegates receive a BOTI certificate of completion (this is not an accredited qualification). Need accredited training? Ask about BOTI’s QCTO/SETA-accredited programmes — for example, the QCTO Project Manager occupational qualification or our Services SETA Business Administration and Generic Management qualifications, which suit procurement and operations staff who also need a recognised credential.
Funding it: Skills Development budget and B-BBEE points
Training your Johannesburg team is a planned, budgetable spend — and it works in your favour on your scorecard:
- Skills Development Levy (SDL): if your annual payroll exceeds R500,000 you already pay SDL at 1% of payroll. Structured training like this is exactly what that budget is meant to fund — money you can recover through the system rather than leave on the table.
- B-BBEE Skills Development: on the B-BBEE scorecard, the skills-development target is 6% of the leviable amount (not 6% of payroll). Investing in training for your staff — and prioritising Black employees per the scorecard — earns points on one of the most heavily weighted elements.
- One quote, clear cost: we give you a fixed per-group price so your L&D and finance teams can slot it straight into the Skills Development plan.
This is general guidance to help you plan — confirm specifics with your skills-development facilitator or B-BBEE verification agency.

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver the supply chain course at our own offices in Johannesburg? Yes. We deliver in-house at your premises anywhere in Johannesburg — Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Rosebank and beyond. We bring the facilitator and materials; you provide the room. We also offer a Johannesburg venue or a live remote option.
How many staff can we train at once? In-house training is priced per group, so it is most cost-effective for a team. We will recommend a group size that keeps the session practical and interactive, and tailor content to your buyers, planners and warehouse staff.
Is the training accredited? This supply chain and procurement programme is a practical, facilitator-led skills course — delegates receive a BOTI certificate of completion, not an accredited qualification. If you need an accredited credential, ask about BOTI’s QCTO/SETA-accredited programmes, such as the QCTO Project Manager qualification or our Services SETA Business Administration and Generic Management qualifications.
Can we use our Skills Development budget or claim B-BBEE points? Yes. The training supports your B-BBEE Skills Development spend (target of 6% of the leviable amount) and fits the budget funded by your SDL contribution (1% of payroll). Many Johannesburg employers fund team training exactly this way.
Can you tailor the content to our sector? Absolutely. We adapt examples and emphasis to your industry and systems — whether you are a Sandton financial-services procurement desk, a Midrand distribution centre or a Randburg services business.
