Life skills were never taught to students learning through the South African education system leaving many school leavers without the tools necessary to cope in the real world. 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.

Levels 1 to 4 of the Adult Basic Education and Training programme aim to provide learners with basic education in reading writing and maths. These levels also place emphasis on teaching financial lifeskills to individuals to assist them in managing their personal finances better. This includes providing them with information of how the banking sector operates from opening a bank account to understanding interest and bank charges that are deducted once an account has been opened. A learner will also gain skills that will help them budget on a monthly basis so that they live well within their means and give them information on how to plan financially for the future.
