COURSE LOCATION

This is not an online course. You are required to travel to the venue every day at your own cost and to attend in person at the venue and address below or otherwise provided to you.

Once we have the final number of attendees we will book a venue (i.e. if we only have 5 attendees we can’t afford to hire a large venue and if we have more than 10 attendees for the in-person course then we will need a bigger venue).

Gauteng: We usually have the course either in Centurion or in Kempton Park.

Cape Town: We usually have the course either in Panorama or Durbanville.

Once the venue is booked you will be notified immediately via email. We do reserve the right to book a venue in a different area than the ones mentioned above – as it will depend on venue availability.

While you wait to hear what venue is being used, please make your bookings early and be assured that the course will go ahead and ensure that you have booked the course for your province, i.e. Gauteng or Western Cape. Waiting for the venue to be booked will result in no bookings and no course being run.

See our cancellation policy below – should we cancel the course you will receive a full refund.
