We have 10 conference venues across Johannesburg and Pretoria, plus partner training venues in 24+ international cities. Each room can be set up Cabaret-style, U-shape, or Theatre-style depending on the session. See the Conference Venues page for full details.

Every training room includes free uncapped Wi-Fi and wired fibre, audio-visual equipment (projector, screens, audio system), a breakout area with complimentary teas / coffees / chilled water, and an on-site support team for setup and any technical needs.

Yes. Delegates can experience some of South Africa's iconic destinations — the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Sandton, the Union Buildings, Pretoria Zoo, Nelson Mandela House, the Cradle of Humankind, and Sun City Resort. Full list on the Excursions page.

AATICD does not run its own hotels. We provide accommodation assistance through a network of partner properties across Africa and beyond, located as close as possible to the chosen training venue. Accommodation is quoted separately from the training fee — see the Accommodation page.

Once you've selected your training venue in the booking system, you'll see a list of accommodation partners available in that city, sorted by distance to the training venue. Choose the property and number of nights — accommodation is added as a separate line item on your quote.

Yes. Transportation is arranged to/from the airport, between your accommodation and the training venue, to/from excursions, and to nearby shopping centres. Full details on the Transportation page.

Teas, coffees, and a hot lunch are provided every training day. If you have a special dietary requirement (halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, etc.) please flag it during the booking process so the kitchen can prepare. See the Meals page.

Every delegate gets a goody bag with quality stationery, a printed learner manual, an AATICD-branded business folder, T-shirt, and coffee/tea mug. Soft copies of all course material are also available for download via our Learner Management System (LMS). Full list on the Learning Material page.

Yes. At checkout you can pick one optional add-on: Laptop, Tablet, or Shopping Voucher. The voucher option is for delegates who already have a laptop or tablet and prefer to use the equivalent value differently. Each add-on appears as its own line on your booking quote.

Either a Certificate of Attendance (every delegate who completes the programme) or a Certificate of Successful Completion (delegates who additionally meet the assessment criteria where applicable). Both are issued by AATICD on watermarked stock with a unique certificate ID. Full details on the Certificates page.

You retain access to your AATICD Learner Management System account after the programme ends, so soft-copy manuals, slide handouts, templates, and revisions are always one login away. Your digital certificate is also stored there for replacement copies.

The training fee covers the programme itself, all printed and digital learning material, the goody bag, daily teas / coffees / lunch, and your certificate. Accommodation, transport, and any optional add-ons (laptop / tablet / voucher) are quoted on separate lines.

The system displays course pricing in your selected currency at checkout. Pricing is anchored to the South African market and adjusted for the destination city — for example, training in Dubai or London is priced higher than the same programme in Pretoria.

Add the course to your cart and request a quote — the system generates a branded PDF quotation that includes the training fee, accommodation, transport, and any add-ons. You can then forward it to your finance team or accept it directly online.
