TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Life skills’ training involves teaching a person how to function properly in their communities as well as society at large. These skills include being able to communicate within any environment. The training teaches them how to complete documents so that they are able to open bank accounts and have access to other institutions. It shows them how to apply for employment and what they need for the application to be successful such as a CV. The courses and programmes are aimed at helping under privileged or uneducated members of society function and gain knowledge on how to improve their lives.

Basic numeracy begins with teaching a person what a number depicts and how to count. Once a person knows the name of a number and is able to place them in the correct numerical order, they can begin to learn how to recognise numbers. After this, an individual can begin making basic sums such as addition and subtraction. A learner must be able to write the numbers to enable him or her to make these calculations on paper. So before a person can begin learning basic numeracy it is imperative that they are able to read and write and apply these skills to the world of numeracy.

You must understand the processes of a business to understand how it operates and generates profits. A business processes course will give you all the information on how a business is run from operations to sales and marketing. It will help you understand the importance of the various departments within a company and their function in the overall scheme of the business. The importance of communication as well as the necessity for policies and procedures within a business will be high lighted. You can apply the skills you learn from a business processes course or use the course to improve your employment status and apply for a new position or job.

A basic writing course will not give you the skills to become a writer overnight. It is aimed at people who have little to no literacy skills to enable them to learn to read and write. A basic writing course will teach an individual everything about writing from holding a pen correctly to forming the letters in the right way. It will also give a learner basic grammar skills and teach them the correct spelling of words. The correct format of documents such as writing a letter in the correct way is another benefit of taking a basic writing course.

The word mathematics sends fear into the hearts of many a student and learner. But having basic numeracy skills such as the ability to add and subtract as well as multiply and divide is necessary for a person function optimally in society. Many South Africans do not have these skills and it is important that we all do what we can to ensure that every citizen is able to learn some maths skills. The cost involved in educating a person is minimal but some people do not even have this amount of money available to improve numerical literacy. Donating money to government funded education programmes will help give these people the greatest gift of all, education.

You can supply your employees with customised learner materials within an adult basic education and training course that pertain specifically to your business and the areas of focus that you need addressed in your business. These learner materials will help your employees address issues such as basic conversational skills in a variety of languages or basic maths skills to enable the individual to better perform his or her job function. If your business is more focused on unskilled labour, the focus can be changed to include courses that will provide your employees with basic literacy skills so that they can read and understand any material that is necessary for them to complete a job.

We understand the companies and learners want to keep their learning experiences within their budget range. It is for this reason that we take every possible step to ensure quality education at an affordable price. The ABET course costs vary according to location, number of attendees, levels taken and materials required. In general the ABET course costs for every level are around R1400-R1800 per learner. The ABET course costs already include the lecturing, hands-on practical experiences, and learning materials. The general timeframe for the completion of one level is about 6-10 months depending on the learner’s pace and circumstances. There are however, variables that influence the ABET course costs and as such the above are just basic guidelines. We recommend that you contact us for a quote that reflects your particular interests, location, materials, etc.

The Triple e literacy education programs are presented on all ABET levels and upon completion of every level, the learner obtains the necessary nationally recognized qualification. Literacy education programs are focussed on first teaching the learners the basics, and from there progressing to more advanced literacy and finally total comprehension of a language including reading, writing, understanding, and communicating effectively in that language. Comprehension, grammar, and more advanced writing are done on the appropriate levels. The learner starts at a particular level based on previous education or the absence of previous education in the specific language. By assessing the learner’s skills levels first we ensure that the learner will be able to understand the work and progress from previous knowledge to the most advanced level in the shortest possible timeframe that is appropriate for the specific learner.

Triple e provides well structured English classes for adults in the workplace. Every class is structured to meet the specific learning needs of the attendees and upon completion of the specific levels the attendees will do either an assessment or a POE. Once they have passed the level they receive their NQF for that level. Pre-assessments are made of the learning skills, comprehension of the language, and previous education before enrolling a learner in one of the English classes – ensuring targeted education that is fun, motivational and highly effective. The English classes for adults are presented at the workplace, making it possible for more workers to attend and thus become skilled in the most used business language of this country.

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.
