TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

There are many government training centres across the country that offer Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET). This programme is designed to take an uneducated person from grade one right through to matric at an accelerated rate. So whether you are a person who never learned to read or write or somebody that just needs to pass matric, find the training centre near you and start or finish your education today. The ABET programme will not only help you with reading and writing, but you will also receive education in basic mathematics and life skills to assist you functioning at your best in a modern world.

Education on NQF1 level requires specific books and ABET learning materials. 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.

The world faces an economic crisis and South Africa is not isolated from it. As such we need to empower people through math training. The math training will help the workers to get better qualifications, helping them to find other work should retrenchments follow. Apart from pro-actively taking care of the future for your workforce, you will also give them important skills to apply in the workplace. They will become more positive about their work and will be able to contribute better in the workplace. By giving them essential skills through math training you are investing in your own company’s future as well. Build a better workforce through math training as provided by Triple e.

Bad experiences in the past may very well limit people’s willingness to go for maths training. Triple e understands that the worker may not have understood the maths teaching at school level and thus blocked out any possibility of learning essential mathematics skills as an adult. We break down the blockages by providing maths training that is vastly different from that taught at school level. You will immediately understand, progress, and be able to apply your knowledge in the workplace. By getting mathematics training through Triple e you will also get the required qualifications to progress in your work and thus empower yourself to get a better future. If you want more of life than simply carrying on at the same level, enquire about the mathematics training offered by Triple e through the CONTACT US page.

The Triple e adult mathematics classes are well accepted and loved by course attendees because we have unique way of presenting knowledge which makes the subject understandable, fun, and applicable to the workplace. Our adult mathematics classes are presented on the level of the attendee and as such pre assessments are done to ensure that the adult mathematics classes are presented at a level that the attendee will understand and appreciate. We build upon their existing skills. We also schedule the classes around their shifts and time available. This makes it possible for more workers to attend. Keeping in mind that they don’t have as much time available as school children or students, we offer compact classes which promote fast learning and application of skills attained.

Triple e recognizes the importance of the correct learning materials for every stage of learning. As such the ABET learning materials used ensure that every level is appropriately addressed. Although most of the ABET learning materials are written in English, the employees or learners are also taught the required English skills to ensure that they can understand the learning materials of which some are also available in digital format. By providing the learners with learning materials appropriate to their skills level of English and for instance, Mathematics, frustration is prevented. If the learner has understandable and highly applicable learning materials aimed at accelerating the speed of learning and comprehension, the learner will stay positive. If the learning materials are not directly applicable to practical day to day applications and not understandable the worker will lose courage. As such contact Triple e for custom development of learning materials which will be appropriate for the given subject area and situations of your employees.

When thinking of practical Maths training for the workplace you immediately think about Mathematical literacy. Although true in the sense that we do provide Mathematical literacy training from the most basic level to the highest NQF level, it in fact means – training employees from the level that they are comfortable with and building on their existing skills set to ensure that the Mathematics can be applied to the workplace. This means that practical Maths training for the workplace is aimed at giving employees the skills to apply in a sense that will help them with complex calculations, presentation of information and the interpretation thereof. It can be applied to real life scenarios. The workers will be able to apply their knowledge of graphs, measurements, currencies, and more to the situations at work.

The further they advance through the adult curriculum, the more students recognize how their skills connect and transfer. They also recognize how skills and knowledge are cumulative, laying foundations for and building upon one another. All of their adult education curricula could qualify as “business skills development,” because students’ acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills empowers their workplace advancement. At the curriculum’s more advanced levels, however, the curriculum focuses more and more on language and mathematics skills specifically required in business. For example, business skills development courses focus on reading, analyzing, interpreting, and responding to business texts. Writing for business stands as its own discourse domain, different and distinct from all others, so that business skills development works only with business discourse. Similarly, at its higher levels, business skills development focuses on all the mathematical operations shown on spreadsheets, and it emphasizes analysis of and inference from statistics.

No profession or academic discipline can develop and thrive without mathematics. Not even sophisticated study of literature and philosophy can advance without advanced math skills. Creating a Shakespearean sonnet, a poet embeds mathematical formulae in language, developing cadence, rhythm and meaning. Logical reasoning, the backbone of philosophy, derives from principles of geometric proof. Similarly, the world’s largest retail chain runs almost entirely on a complex system of “metrics,” which inform its merchandising, advertising, displays, and personnel decisions. Not one single detail of the number-one retailer’s day-to-day operation remains untouched by sophisticated mathematical formulae, and workers cannot advance up its corporate ladder without command of advanced math skills, including the fundamentals of calculus for business. The further a person climbs up the corporate ziggurat, the more he or she must have complete command of advanced math skills. Every CEO knows words trigger strong emotions, but numbers inspire action.

Without adequate math training, workers cannot advance. In order to take on more responsibility for production, sales, customer service, or operations, every employee in every business must take initiative to get proper math training. The basics of arithmetic lay the foundations for more advanced problem-solving and most effective math training begins with comprehensive review of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, math training rapidly advances to the basics of algebra, which are essential to calculating profit and loss, and to the basics of geometry, which are essential to all the construction trades and most manufacturing.

High quality math training acknowledges many adult learners feel hesitant, even fearful about numbers and calculations, because their prior experiences in school often have confused and complicated basic mathematical operations. Math training for adults helps reluctant learners overcome their fear, building their confidence as it builds their proficiency.
