FTI in a nutshell

Faculty Training Institute is a leading provider of training courses and related services to organisations across Southern Africa.

We have our own training premises in Cape Town and Johannesburg, but more than half of our business is conducted on-site at our clients, and we use conference facilities in other centres.

Our market niche is  to provide training at the intersection of technology and business, where business value can be unlocked.  Our typical course delegates include business analysts, systems analysts, enterprise architects, project managers and testing specialists. Our value-added services are aimed at helping companies improve capacity in these areas. 

We are passionate about developing human potential. Our ethics and integrity are unquestioned.  We are unswerving in our aim to deliver enduring value to all of our stakeholders.  With hundreds of leading corporate clients, and thousands of delegates trained in more than 2 decades in the business, we can help you and your company to new levels of efficiency,  performance and success.

Course Portfolio

FTI offers a range of sought-after courses and qualifications, targeting the knowledge professions.

Our Diplomas and Certificate courses, usually part-time from 3-6 months in duration, are intended for the multi-skilled professional in particular roles like business analysis or project management.  They have a rigorous assessment process involving assignments and examinations,  are usually endorsed by the relevant professional bodies, and are highly sought after qualifications.

Our short courses, typically 2-5 full days, are designed to develop competence or mastery in specific focused skill-sets. 

Most courses are available in a variety of public formats. Some programmes are also available on-site and can be scheduled at client convenience (subject to minimum numbers).   Selected specialist courses and services are available on request, or as on-site options only. Course customisation is available through our Professional Services Division.

See our Course Calendar for provisional dates for public courses, and our Course Portfolio page for a complete list of current courses.
