About Us

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

Exploring your life's purpose—whether it's making a positive impact on society, starting your own business, or tapping into your creativity at work—is like embarking on an exciting journey. Going beyond what's familiar, facing uncertainties, seizing opportunities, and overcoming challenges become thrilling achievements on the path to success.

The Adventure Institute is a pioneering South African initiative dedicated to equipping you with a unique mindset and a diverse set of skills to navigate the intricacies of today’s dynamic and ever-changing landscape. Our courses cater to a broad spectrum, addressing the needs of individuals, companies, and groups alike, fostering both soft and hard skills.

Benefit from the guidance of experienced lecturers and facilitators boasting decades of local and international “real-world” experience. They are here to assist you in gaining clarity amidst global economic activity changes and the impacts of artificial intelligence on the job market. These seasoned professionals help you navigate and overcome prevalent workplace challenges and limitations.

We debunk the widely accepted and unfortunate myth that creativity and innovation are reserved for a “special” group of people. Our mission is to guide you towards recognizing and seizing great opportunities in a world filled with endless possibilities.

We have developed two categories of courses and qualifications to achieve the above goals:
