Every workshop we publish is also delivered in-house — at your premises anywhere in South Africa and beyond, at one of our venues, or live online. Before we deliver, our course designers can adapt HIV,AIDS & GBV to your team: your industry’s examples in the case work, your real challenges in the exercises, your operational rhythm in the schedule. We meet you, agree the outline together, and only then do you place the order.

In-house rates drop per delegate as the group grows — for larger teams it is usually the more affordable option as well as the better-fitting one.
