TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Have you ever tried to learn as an adult in the way children do? If we were to learn in the same way we would lose all hope. Children have growing brains and can intake more knowledge than adults. In addition they have 12 years at school to learn a new language, master maths, life orientation and science. As adults we are busy, have less time, and certainly don’t have 12 years to complete our Grade 12 education. As such we can conclude that adults learn differently and require education that will ensure that they can learn subjects in a shorter time span and be able to apply the knowledge directly in their lives as well as workplaces. The Triple e ABET courses have been structured to accommodate the way adults learn and thus to be highly effective. Contact Triple e for adult education courses for your employees today.

We take many life skills for granted, but often forget that many communities never had any exposure to life skills training before. One of the adult life skills training programs is that of HIV/AIDS training presented at workplaces around the country. By giving workers the knowledge to help them deal with HIV/AIDS infections, living with it, understanding how it is transmitted or not transmitted and what can be done, will help them to avoid contraction, live with it when already contracted, provide support to colleagues and friends who have contracted HIV/AIDS, and will help to make the workplace safer whilst also more worker friendly. The workers spend most of their days at work where a lot of interaction with other workers takes place and where injuries can be sustained. It is essential that you give them the knowledge required to deal with such situations effectively by enrolling them in adult life skills training programs such as the ones presented by Triple e.

POE stands for Portfolio of Evidence and refers to the portfolio that a learner has to hand in for each of the outcomes mastered in the ABET training programs. Instead of writing the ABET exam the learner must complete assignments, show proof of work completed and an understanding of the outcomes. It is project based and a more complete assessment of a learner’s skills in a particular area. The benefit of the POE is that the learner doesn’t have to write an exam which is once off, but the results are based on one assessment only. Many learners struggle with exams, but have the knowledge to provide a complete POE. The disadvantage is that it entails more work from the learner. We discuss each option with the new learners in depth to help them make informed decisions regarding the way that they want to be assessed.

Adults don’t learn to read in the same way as children. There are specific phases when adults learn to read. We have identified the phases and ensure that the learners start and progress in their course at the appropriate phase. The main phases that adults go through when they learn to read are that of initial decoding and then confirming the knowledge, where after fluency in the language follows. The learner will then use prior knowledge of reading to acquire facts. A reading strategy is developed and the skills applied. It is important to structure learn to read classes accordingly to ensure maximum success.
