The legacies of the past have left South Africa with the need to address some serious educational deficits. Government policies condemned vast numbers of learners to incomplete or makeshift tuition that led to high levels of adult illiteracy and limited maths ability. , for more details of all available ABET courses within the 9 provinces or in Swaziland, Botswana and Lesotho. are changing that. These are adult basic education and training schemes that use a network of facilitators to empower the previously disadvantaged and transform career prospects. Among the basic aims of ABET courses are improved adult literacy and numeracy.

One of the prime strengths of , for more details of all available ABET courses within the 9 provinces or in Swaziland, Botswana and Lesotho. is that providers must be accredited to the appropriate NQF level in order to participate, thus offering assured relevance and value to learners. Accreditation with Umalusi is the basic requirement but some centres may only be accredited to train facilitators. Prospective learners or their employers are advised to check the status of any organization claiming to provide bona fide ABET courses against the official list posted on the Umalusi website.

ABET courses have grown considerably in their overall scope. Some of the leading providers in this field now offer 300 or more units for learners, each developed to meet nationally required standards. In addition to the fundamentals of numeracy and literacy, new ABET courses are constantly being developed to meet the ever changing needs of vocational training. These are focussed on helping learners to acquire and develop those specific skills required by the nature of their jobs. Such courses serve to improve a worker’s personal performance and his or her future prospects.

South Africa’s increasing involvement in international markets, has made linguistic skills more important. The language of international commerce is English and those who can’t speak it risk being seen as illiterate. One important focus for ABET courses is basic business English. The aims of ABET tuition differ from those of mainstream education in being focussed on job requirements and not academic excellence. Nevertheless, many ABET courses have the secondary aim of readying for further learning.

Volunteers are required on an ongoing basis around the country to work from learning centres or provide services at business premises. Candidates require matric certification or some other form of higher learning degree or diploma and will receive the necessary training to enable them to fulfil the role of a facilitator. Finding the right candidates can be tedious without the use of ABET recruitment tools. Flyers and other media are available for download via the internet. The best recruitment tool is however word of mouth and students as well as existing facilitators can be roped in to spread the word regarding the need for volunteers in an area.

There are also a number of programmes and courses that can teach you the correct way of writing and help you widen your vocabulary as well as address grammar and spelling.

Business communication in South Africa comes with its own unique complexities as the different languages and cultures in the country must be taken into consideration. You can improve your communication skills as well as those of your employee by offering a basic communication course in your company. You will learn how to greet correctly in a variety of languages as well as what may be considered and insults or compliments in certain cultures. The English language is used greatly in the business community around the world and enhancing vocabulary, spelling and grammar must also play a role in advancing communication skills.

A higher level of reading and understanding literacy materials is necessary for individuals to access further development and higher learning facilities. Further education and training facilities will not accept learners or students who only have basic reading and writing skills as they will not able to follow the course material. Learning at a higher level requires a student to be able to absorb knowledge on their own as well as interpret the subject matter with only the assistance of a lecturer.

Life skills training is now provided at a primary and secondary school level but does not address the millions of people who did not receive this education in the past. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme aims to provide adults of all ages with the skills necessary to enable them to become better functioning members of society. The course focuses on teaching financial lifeskill, health and safety as well as the other basic educational needs of an individual.

Having employees who understand the basics of project management can help the project run more efficiently. A person who understands the need for deadlines and can be incentivised to meet them is more likely to work well within the time framework. A knowledge of budgeting and the costs related to a project can also create an awareness amongst employees of the need to work efficiently. Most people do not have these skills and can benefit from a basic project management course such as that offered by the Adult Basic Education and Training programme.

However, most of us take it for granted that we are able to count and perform basic calculations without the use of a calculator. We need these skills to fulfil certain simple tasks in society such as purchasing items. Some people in South Africa do not have these maths skills and are in dire need of education and training. But before a person can learn to count and calculate, they must also be able to read and write. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme that was rolled out by government in association with SETA’s aims to eliminate the problem of illiteracy and the lack of mathematical skills in the country.
