Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.

Training venue

Johannesburg offers a strong selection of international-standard hotels and conference venues concentrated in the Sandton, Rosebank, and Melrose Arch business districts. Delegates can expect modern training facilities with reliable AV equipment and catering at four- and five-star properties.

Getting there

O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), located approximately 23–30 km from the city centre, is South Africa's largest airport and the main international gateway. The Gautrain rapid rail connects the airport directly to Sandton, Rosebank, and Pretoria; Uber operates widely and is generally the safest on-demand transfer option.

Visa

Many nationalities (including US, UK, EU, and several African passport holders) can enter South Africa visa-free for up to 90 days for business meetings or training. South Africa also offers an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system for eligible nationalities via O.R. Tambo, Cape Town, or Lanseria airports. Confirm with the destination embassy — visa rules vary by passport.

Safety

Stick to well-known business districts such as Sandton, Rosebank, and Melrose Arch, and avoid walking alone at night. Use Uber or pre-booked transfers rather than hailing taxis, and keep valuables out of sight.
