Why African Training Institute is the go-to place for continuous professional development

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and evolving global dynamics across industries, the need for continuous professional development has never been more critical. Recognising this imperative is the African Training Institute (ATI), an entity with a mission “to provide quality, tailor-made capacity building and consultancy services through training, team building and research”.

ATI does this through short refresher courses designed to benefit professionals serving in government, NGOs, and private sector entities in Africa and beyond. This marks its contribution to economic and social development of Africa.

ATI's commitment to quality, relevance, and impact ensures that its training initiatives yield tangible benefits for participants and their organisations. The institution's training programmes are designed to be interactive, engaging, and relevant to the needs of participants, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Their dedicated staff is available to assist with any additional visa-related inquiries, ensuring that delegates have the necessary support to obtain the necessary travel documents in a timely manner.

Accommodation arrangements

To enhance the convenience of delegates, ATI partners with accommodation providers within the proximity of their training venues. The institute provides a daily shuttle service between accommodation facilities and the training venue, as well as two-way airport shuttle.
