Corporate Training Programs

High-quality training and executive education for individuals and organisations, from standard courses to fully bespoke in-house programmes.

The association's Corporate Training and Executive Education is dedicated to providing high quality training, education and professional development programmes to meet the educational requirements of individuals and organizations. Clients come from a wide range of industries, institutions and government agencies, locally, nationally and internationally.

The association organizes activities designed to develop or improve an employee's knowledge, skills and expertise, typically a series of learning experiences such as instructional sessions, workshops, practical exercises, assessments and evaluations, aimed at achieving specific learning objectives. Programmes cover topics from technical skills to soft skills, and can be delivered in person, online or as blended learning.

The courses focus on the total executive, finding a balance between professional life and personal growth. They are university based, drawing on the latest research, taught using relevant industry examples, and with a strong practical focus. Facilitators are university professionals and external consultants who are specialists in their fields, and courses are developed in partnership with clients around specifically required outcomes.

Programme formats

Standard courses: a course of training or instruction provided wholly or partly by, on behalf of, or under arrangements made with the client. Delivered in-house, where content and format follow the published outline, with separate notification of dates and locations, and enrolment through the association's registration tool.

In-house training: a wide range of programmes delivered at your own premises, with the trainer available to confidentially answer questions relating to your organisation's specific compliance needs. It is the most convenient and cost-effective solution for training a number of employees in one location, with benefits including training and travel cost savings, convenience, confidentiality and team building, and it puts you in control of the schedule.

A blended approach: a blended learning environment combining virtual participants with those present in the training room.

Bespoke in-house courses: designed and delivered to help grow and develop talent and strengthen leadership skills, built after working with you to identify training needs and assess business objectives.

Tailored in-house courses: adapting the length, content and emphasis of existing courses to meet your objectives. Your requirements determine the content, since rarely do two situations require the same solution, and the design starts with a discussion to determine your training objectives.

Delivery and methodology

Courses run from a full day to six or more days. Delivery is flexible, face-to-face and online or combined, at a time and place to suit your organization. They are a convenient way to develop staff, providing quality learning opportunities, increasing employee satisfaction and positioning your organization as an employer of choice.

A highly experienced trainer delivers the content through presentation and guest resource persons, and participation is fostered through group debates, contests, presentations, role-plays and relevant case study discussions. Experiential learning receives prime focus. Instructor-led training uses a combined learning approach comprising presentations and practical sessions, and facilitators are seasoned industry experts with years of experience working as professionals and trainers in their fields.
