ChatGPT Workshop South Africa: Practical Training for Business Teams
DB23 runs dedicated ChatGPT workshops for South African business teams. Here is exactly what's covered, what each format costs, and what your team will leave knowing how to do.
ChatGPT Workshops for SA Business Teams
DB23 runs ChatGPT workshops in three formats: a 90-minute introductory session (from R3,500), a 3.5-hour half-day practical (from R6,500), and a 7-hour full-day with prompt library build (from R12,000). All formats cover prompt fundamentals, SA-specific business use cases, and POPIA compliance rules. The half-day format is the most popular for business teams — hands-on practice included, with each participant building their first prompt library by the end of the session. Workshops are available remotely via Zoom across South Africa and in-person in Cape Town and major cities.
