TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

They say that every body has a book inside them and a story to tell but you need the right writing skills to be able to get your message across and make yourself understood. You can improve your writing skills by simply reading books and materials written by literary geniuses and other great writers. There are also a number of programmes and courses that can teach you the correct way of writing and help you widen your vocabulary as well as address grammar and spelling. These courses are available in a number of languages so that you can improve your writing skills in your mother tongue or another language in which you would like to express yourself better.

Imagine for a moment that you are unable to read or write. We take picking up a pen and writing our own names for granted and hardly stop to think about the millions of people who do not have basic writing skills. These people form the poorest section of the population group in South Africa and they often do not have the means to pay for any education. There are also limited resources in the form of teachers, classrooms and teaching aids in the country. It is up to big business in South Africa to take up this cause in educating as many people as possible and ensuring a better future for the country as a whole.

You can use adult writing classes to learn to read or to improve on your current writing skills. Having a good vocabulary helps a person express themselves better so that they are better understood. A good vocabulary comes from reading a number of books that will give you better use of the English language. To be able to attend an adult writing class you must first be able to read. An adult writing class will also assist you in proper letter formation. This begins with holding your pen or pencil correctly so that your writing flows and is not stilted. It is no use being able to write if your hand writing is so bad that no-one can make out what you have written.

Once people are able read a language, teaching basic writing skills is the next step in the process of achieving literacy. Most of us were taught to read and write in grade one. However, many people did not have access to a school or any education under the Apartheid government. This has left us with the legacy of an adult population group who have no literacy skills whatsoever. The current government has made it a priority that every South African can read and write and has rolled out the Adult Education and Training programme. Centres have been built or converted from existing structures so that people from every walk of life will be able to have easy access to an education.

Everybody has a writer somewhere inside them. But it takes knowledge of the English language to ensure that you get the grammar, spelling and text correct. This may necessitate the study of a course that can help you improve your writing skills. Improving your writing skills will also open up a variety of options to you. A person who is able to write correctly will have a wider range of jobs available for him or her to choose from. It is never too late to learn and no matter how young or old you are, there is a programme specifically designed to assist you in improving your writing skills in a number of languages.

If you cannot read or write your ambitions simply cannot be realised. In a world that is changing to one where information is the currency that will allow people to reach their true potential. Someone who is illiterate is denied access to the information available in today’s knowledge rich environment and has to allow others to translate this information into something that they can understand. By being disenfranchised in this manner the illiterate worker is forever at a disadvantage. ABET is changing that status and is also changing people’s lives across South Africa. Business and government have shown themselves to be committed to this goal through rolling out ABET programs across South Africa.

An education is something that no one can ever take away from you. Once you have learned the rudiments of reading and writing the world is your oyster, with the basics you can read further, improving your education. You can achieve almost anything you desire once you have the mental tools at your disposal. Unfortunately for the estimated 3.3 million illiterate people in South Africa they simply do not have these tools. However this is changing due to the fact that Adult basic education and Training programs are being rolled out across the country and are today benefiting 100’s of thousands of people.

Adult Basic Education and Training is changing the face of South African society by replacing ignorance with knowledge. This is important not only because of its ramifications for business but also in its knock on effects for the wider society. An educated populace is much more likely to actively engage in nation building and much less likely to engage in activities that are detrimental to the nation as a whole, such as criminal activity. By bringing a basic knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic to the previously disadvantaged ABET programs are changing South Africa into a better, more socially conscious country.

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.

Considering that we will host the World Cup Soccer 2010, we should be a country that is well advanced also on the educational front. Sadly we are not. We need adult basic training in South Africa to be able to provide better services, ensure hope for the future, and to uplift poorer communities. Equally sad many of the workers at companies and at homes have no education whatsoever and lack even the most basic skills of reading, writing, and counting. By keeping adults from gaining the essential skills we limit the growth potential of this country. Enrol your workers in adult basic training courses that will give them the skills to function in modern day society, help others, and contribute to your company’s goals. Triple e provides a wide range of ABET accredited adult basic training courses throughout South Africa and at the employer’s premises.
