Frequently Asked Questions

Stadira Training Institute is Jodalin (Pty) Ltd, a company registered in Botswana. We run two kinds of programmes: practical career courses for working adults, job-seekers and business owners in Botswana, and Learn with Prof. Kitso — maths and science programmes for IB MYP, IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSE and BGCSE students. Every course is built, developed and assessed by qualified teachers, and all learning is online, so you can study on any device.

Yes. Jodalin (Pty) Ltd t/a Stadira Training Institute is registered with the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA) as a Consultancy, Registration No. CON501.

This registration covers Stadira as a consultancy. It is not an accreditation of individual courses, so we do not describe our courses as accredited. Our career courses are designed around the priority skills identified by the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC).

We are based in Gaborone, Botswana, and we teach online. There is nothing you have to attend in person: lessons, quizzes and assignments all run on our learning platform, so you can study from home, from work or from another country.

For companies in Botswana we can also run facilitated sessions at your premises, and one-to-one tutoring can be online or in person in Gaborone.

Yes, for our school programmes. IB MYP, IB Diploma and Cambridge IGCSE students anywhere in the world can enrol, and so can BGCSE candidates. Prices are shown in Botswana Pula (P).

Our career courses are built for the Botswana workplace and are offered in Botswana only.

Yes. Science Form 1, 2 and 3 and the IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics courses include virtual experiments: you take the readings yourself, record them in a results table, plot the graph and answer the questions a practical paper asks.

Each IGCSE science also comes with five full mock sets — Papers 1 to 4 and Paper 6 — each with a marking key that shows how every mark is earned and which lesson to revise.

Career courses are taught in modules: each AI for Business module is about 12 hours and each Small Business Management module 22 to 30 hours. Poultry & Vegetable Farming is about 24 hours. All are taught in bite-sized lessons with quizzes and a practical assignment. Study is self-paced, so most learners finish a module in two to four weeks.

School programmes give you 12 months of access, so you can work through them across the school year and come back to them before exams.

No. Career courses start from first principles and build quickly towards workplace use — all you need is commitment, basic English and an internet connection. For school programmes, the free placement quiz shows you exactly where to start.

It is our set of maths and science programmes for school students. Most courses offer two ways to study:

• Self-Study — lessons, practice questions and exam-style papers, each with full worked solutions so you can check your own work.
• Marked & Mentored — the same course, plus a qualified teacher who marks the work you submit and gives written feedback.

Both are paid yearly. Compare them on Plans & prices.

Yes. Ask a teacher, tell us the subject and what you are stuck on, and a Stadira teacher will reply to you personally with the details.

Career courses are paid once, with nothing more to pay: P499 per module of AI for Business or Small Business Management, P799 for the Final Assessment, P2,999 for a full course, and P895 for Poultry and Vegetable Farming.

School programmes are paid yearly and start from P499 a year (P699 for a full course). Until 30 April 2027 every school course is free with the code STADIRA100. Each course page shows its current price, and Plans & prices compares every programme. For a formal quotation for your employer or school, contact us on WhatsApp or at [email protected].

Career courses: all lessons and downloadable study materials, every quiz, the marked practical assignment, tutor support and your certificate on completion. There are no hidden charges or extra assessment fees.

School programmes: 12 months of access to everything in the course, including practice questions and papers with full solutions. The Marked & Mentored plan adds teacher marking and written feedback.

Many Botswana employers claim staff training back through the HRD Fund levy. For career courses we issue a tax invoice, an attendance record and a serial-numbered certificate to support your claim. Your HR team can confirm with HRDC how the levy applies to your company.

Yes. Maths — Start Here is free: placement quizzes for IB MYP, Cambridge IGCSE and BGCSE maths show exactly which topics to work on before you buy anything. All you need is a free account.

School programmes carry a 14-day money-back guarantee, and you only pay again if you choose to renew — we remind you on WhatsApp before your access ends. On a career course, if you can no longer take your place you can pass it to a colleague at no extra cost. The full policy is in our Terms & Conditions.

Your course appears in your student dashboard as soon as your payment is confirmed. Work through the lessons in order, complete the practice for each topic and submit any assignments. Your progress is saved, so you can stop and pick up exactly where you left off.

Absolutely. The whole platform works on a phone, and the Stadira app can be installed straight from your browser — no app store needed. It even lets you keep reading when your connection drops.

Career courses: each topic ends with a quiz, and every course closes with a practical assignment marked by a qualified teacher. Complete the lessons and pass the assessments and you receive a Stadira certificate — serial-numbered, and anyone can check it at stadira.com/tutor-certificate-verification.

School programmes prepare you for your school exams: you practise with full worked solutions and sit mock papers, and on Marked & Mentored a teacher marks your work.

Straight away. All our courses are online and self-paced, so you begin as soon as your enrolment is confirmed. Facilitated sessions for companies are scheduled on request.

Yes. We train teams of any size in Botswana — fully online, on-site at your premises, or blended. Group rates apply from five learners, and we handle the enrolment of all your staff so your HR team does not have to.
