MTDC was conceived in the year 2009 and formed in the year 2012.We are forging ahead year by year and reaching new frontiers in capacity building and human resource development in Africa.

MTDC is overseen and governed by Directors who are industry experts in development, management, environmentalists, in restructuring and other different fields of human endeavour. The combination of its leadership makes it basically a private initiative.

The institution has forged excellent working relationships over the years with hotels and guest houses in and around Durban, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Capetown ( South Africa), Accra (Ghana), Port Louis (Mauririus) London (UK) & Dallas, Texas(USA) .We ensure that they are affordable accommodation to our clients. The institute also makes reservations for delegates on request after confirmation of participation.

Usually accommodation in South Africa averages about US$35 – US$45 per person per day. Meals come at an extra cost in places where the accommodation is not self-catering.

Cities such as Durban, Mbabane and Pretoria are relatively safe. In all the time we have conducted training, there has never been an incident with our participants either on tour or at the accommodation as one of our office assistants usually accompanies delegates after lecture hours and sometimes on request at weekends.

The best possible option is to contact the Institution for quotes or to request the Institute to make a reservation on behalf of the delegates.

The Institute provides timely airport pick up to get our delegates from the airport on arrival and also to take them back at departure. We have a zero tolerance policy to delegates being kept waiting or stranded on arrival.

Delegates are advised to obtain their own medical health insurance from the local travel agent in their country of departure preferably in the agency where their tickets was bought.

All delegates regardless of course duration receive a brand new laptop computer or tablet in accordance with our capacity development initiatives and in line with our mission statement, “Excellence in African Development” We believe an empowered individual is a great asset to the continent.

MTDC has full time consultants in key areas of consulting. Also we utilize the services of part time consultants from local institutions of higher learning such as University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), University of South Africa Pretoria (UNISA), South African Association of Public Administration & Management, National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) Tanzania, Durban University of Technology (DUT) and also Research Centers, as well as associate consultants from other countries. We also have access to professionals who are world leaders in the development arena, through our recruitment database.

Delegates are required to be working in a government establishment, parastatal, ministry, agency or non-governmental organization (NGO) in a relevant capacity and be proficient in spoken English and in basic computer literacy.

Upon successful participation in the programme, a certificate of completion will be issued, bearing participant’s course title.

All our consultants have second or third degrees, and extensive experience in their areas of expertise.

We do not refund tuition fees. If you are not able to attend, we shall require a substitute candidate from your organization to attend. But please, do note that this may only be considered in special situations.

There are no cash refunds as stated before, delegates may return to complete the programme at a later date or finish up through our online distance learning medium.

Participants bear no transport costs during excursions/tours. However meals , shopping,souvenirs, artefacts and other incidental expenses are at the prerogative of the participants.

If the advertised dates do not suit the client’s regular schedule, we accommodate your suggested date, and we shall then consider your application as a special tailor- made arrangement.

There are tea breaks in between lectures where participants can have coffee, tea, beverages, snacks etc throughout lecture days.

Yes, this is possible. We can harmonize the delegate’s terms of reference with our course content where applicable. However, the amendments should not cause a significant deviation from the intended course. E.g. a course on Public Relations should not include topics on Financial Management.
