Triple e ensures that course attendees will have access to the appropriate ABET learning materials, structured specifically for the NQF1 level. The ABET learning materials for this level include workbooks, facilitation and portfolio building. ABET learning materials are available for all the levels right through the NQF4 and address all the main areas of learning including communication, languages, life orientation, sciences, mathematics, technology, and economic and management sciences. By using the appropriate ABET learning materials for each level we can ensure that learners will not have to purchase additional materials and thus save on stationary and book costs. This is important as many learners simply cannot afford add-on materials.

Continuing illiteracy among South Africa’s minorities threatens the nation’s continued economic development because it depends on people’s command of language.

Although South Africa boasts a high literacy rate, which is one of the highest in the industrialized world, the disadvantaged minorities lag behind their European counterparts by a significant margin. Naturally, their lack of English language proficiency limits their educational achievement and reliable studies indicate that the majority of bilingual South Africans remain illiterate in both their primary languages and English.

In the same way that South Africa rose above its bitter racial divisions in the 1990’s, it now must rise above its educational divisions in the new millennium. The nation now must take aggressive steps to eliminate illiteracy.

Advanced classes build their knowledge of strategies, tactics, and innovations giving them competitive advantage over their peers. In addition to professional growth classes, forward thinking business leaders ought to consider enrolling in Tswana classes. One of South Africa’s most prominent languages, and considerably easier to learn than the majority of African languages, Tswana is the everyday language of culture and commerce for more than four million South Africans.

Studies repeatedly have shown that businessmen who communicate with customers and clients in their native languages, command more respect and loyalty than their English only competitors because customers recognize command of their language as a symbol of esteem.

In addition, Tswana classes, specifically designed and developed for busy businessmen, promote rapid acquisition of the language. Using the best instructional methods, Tswana classes focus first and foremost on Tswana for commercial and professional use.
