Questions companies ask
What is a corporate training program?
A corporate training program is training a company arranges for its own employees – a single course for one team, or a series of courses that builds a skill set over time. It is usually run in-house or online for a group, with examples from the company’s own work.
How much does corporate training cost?
It depends on the course length, the number of delegates, the venue and whether laptops are needed. Every BOTI course page shows the price per group size; see also how much corporate training costs in South Africa.
Can you train at our offices, or online?
Yes. Most groups are trained at the client’s premises anywhere in South Africa; we also train live online and at BOTI venues.
Are your courses accredited?
BOTI is a QCTO-accredited skills development provider and is also accredited by the Services SETA. Our occupational certificates, skills programmes and unit-standard courses are accredited; most short courses are non-accredited practical training with a BOTI certificate of attendance. Each course page says which it is. See the accreditation letters.
How many people can attend?
From one delegate to large groups. Classroom groups are usually up to about 20 people; live online masterclasses take up to 500.
How do we compare training providers?
Look at accreditation, the breadth of the catalogue, customisation, delivery options, track record and funding support – our guide to comparing corporate training companies explains each one.
