South Africa controls the majority of the world’s mineral wealth—90% of its platinum, 80% of its manganese, and half of its gold. The nation’s legendary diamond mines rank fourth among the world’s producers. Mining has always driven the South African economy and mineral exports are crucial to the country’s sustained economic growth. More than 450 000 people mine South Africa ’s minerals and nearly half-a-million more workers provide goods and services for the mining industry. The MQA is a SETA that works specifically to administer as well as assess ABET programs for miners and workers in mining’s allied industries. MQA boasts one of the highest retention and graduation rates among the nation’s SETAs. Developing English-language and mathematics skills, miners have emerged from Earth’s dark caverns to take places among the industry’s leaders because of standards administered in education in the mining industry by MQA.

Although it may be the easier option to enroll employees in online courses for English language skills development, it will not address the core issues effectively. Many employees do not have computers and sufficient Internet access to improve their English language skills on their own. In addition most of the employees that will benefit from English language skills development may not even be at a level where they can operate computers effectively. As such they will get frustrated by the equipment, lack of time schedules, and inadequate support. Rather opt for English language skills development courses as provided through Triple-e. The courses can be presented at your premise or at one of our classrooms. The time that suits the staff the best will be allocated. We recognize that there are shift workers and that the language skills levels of the works will differ. As such contact us for an English language skills development course that will fit the requirements of your company and employees.
