TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Apart from the North and South Sotho, Xhosa as well as Tswana language courses we also present basic Zulu courses to give Afrikaans and English speakers the basic conversational skills to communicate with Zulu speakers. The Zulu courses include the following:
• Greetings
• Enquiring about families, health, location, directions, and more
• Skills regarding language for shopping
• Skills to communicate in the workplace

The Zulu courses run over the course of 32 hours. A pre and post assessment will be done. The learners can proceed to ABET Level 1 Communication qualification. This will take 100 hours to complete. Improve communication skills in the workplace by enrolling your employees in one of our Zulu courses.

Triple e not only provides literacy and numeracy courses, we also provide basic conversational skills training which includes African language courses. English and Afrikaans speakers often struggle to communicate with their colleagues and workers because of the language gap. Our African language courses include Zulu, South and North Sotho, as well as Tswana and Xhosa. We do a pre-assessment orally with each attendee to ensure that the candidate starts the African language courses at the correct level. This also enables us to customize the learning material and the African language courses to fit the requirements of the attendees.

Our adult math classes are so popular with attendees because we present the adult <a href=”http://www.eee.co.za”>math classes</a> in a way that keep their skills level in mind. We also cater for the various learning methods, thinking styles and also the time schedule of the attendees. Many adults never improve their numeracy skills simply because the scheduling of the classes don’t take into account that the attendees work shifts, have transport problems or that the attendees don’t comprehend the information at all. We consider all the factors that influence adult learners and also work to motivate them, inspire them and show them practical evidence that what they are learning can be applied to their work environment immediately. Enrol your employees in one of our adult <a href=”http://www.eee.co.za”>math classes</a> and experience the difference it can make in their proficiency and competence level.

South Africa is on the right path with more than 1.6 million adult learners who have enrolled in Public Learner Centres in South Africa between 1999 and 2003. The learners underwent various training programs such as numeracy training, adult literacy, English language skills, communication, life orientantion skills, and more. A full 22% of the adult learners had no previous education. More and more companies are now enrolling their employees in numeracy training to improve their competency levels and thereby ensure a more productive and useful workforce. In addition to building maths skills through numeracy training, the employees get a confidence boost and are more motivated to progress in their careers when they have some form of qualification. This means a more stable workforce which will be an asset to your company. If you have not yet done so, join other companies in building your workforce skills through adult education programs as available from Triple e including the numeracy training.

When thinking of mathematics training images of a teacher at the blackboard and various symbols you simply don’t understand may get form in your mind. No matter at what level you stopped with mathematics training at school or whether you received any form of mathematics training, there is hope. Triple e is an accredited ABET provider of mathematics training and various other adult education programs. We have extensive experience in teaching adults and know how to make difficult concepts understandable. If your progress at work is hindered because of a lack of numeric skills required for the job, you will benefit from our mathematics training which will also give you nationwide recognition once you have passed each of the levels. Speak to your employer about mathematics training for you and other employees as employers do receive incentives for participating in mathematics training programs.

Triple e has tremendous success with adult learning classes and the reason for this is that we address issues that many other programs ignore. We take specific factors into consideration when preparing the adult learning classes. As such our adult learning classes are based on specific principles to promote success:

• Link goals of the learner with what is taught
• Provide applicable knowledge that can be used in day to day living and the workplace
• Give them practical evidence that what they are learning is worth something
• Allow the learners to work at their own pace
• Respect the various ways in which people learn
• Show them how they can solve problems in their workplace with the knowledge gained
• Schedule classes to accommodate the learner’s time, transport needs, and responsibilities
• Provide opportunities to discuss, solve problems, and work out scenarios in class.

There are numerous factors that affect adults learning English. The first factor is that of native tongue. Some languages are related to English and others not at all. The native tongue will thus determine how easy the comprehension of the English language will be. It is for this reason that we have assessments to determine the learner’s skills level, native tongue, and educational background first. We then start the program at the level where they can work and learn with confidence. Another factor that affects adults learning English is that of educational background. Learners with no prior education will naturally take a bit longer to build literacy skills and will thus require a program suitable for their way of learning. Fortunately we meet every person learning English at his or her level of comprehension and educational background.

Adult literacy programs address the specific adult reading skills development phases. It is important to identify the phases and at what level the specific learner is to create appropriate adult reading skills development programs as part of literacy training. The adult reading skills development phases are as follows:

Initial decoding stage
Confirmation and fluency
Using prior knowledge in reading and acquiring facts
Reading strategy development
Application of skills

It is important to help adults through the reading skills development stages and to ensure that they don’t get stuck at one of the levels. As such our programs have been developed to keep their interest and to accelerate the learning ability.

Today more than ever before, people without adequate mathematics training suffer economically as well as socially. The global economical crisis has led to large scale unemployment and being in a country with millions of illiterate or only partially literate people, means that if someone does not have the basic or even advanced mathematics skills , that the person will struggle to get a job. As such it is vital to support mathematics training for your employees , whether the domestic worker, farm worker or factory worker, you will empower them through literacy and mathematics training. It may be that your company one or other time will need to retrench people. By giving them access to literacy and mathematics training and ensuring that they are better skilled to find suitable alternative employment you show that you care about the economy. Our social responsibility starts at home and at our workplaces.

Studies have shown that students who out of their own accord enrol in further education or adult basic training are often more motivated than others and know why they are doing the courses. Since they have goals they are more likely to succeed. Fear is seen as one of the biggest obstacles for adult learners. People with no prior learning experience or perhaps a bad experience as child regarding learning will fear the notion of having to step into a classroom. Overcoming the fear is not that easy, but at Triple e we help adult learners to quickly overcome their fear whether it is a fear of failure or humiliation, they soon realize that we meet them at their level. Our fantastic pass rate is enough evidence, but we do more than that. We create an environment where the adult learners are comfortable and ensure that we help them to succeed. Build worker confidence or build your own confidence by attending one of our programs for adult learners.
