‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

Good work, keep it up and do the same for my colleagues. This work could help save the children of South Africa … and give them hope for a better future.
Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (February, 2014)
I was very happy about my development on this course… often as teachers we do not pay attention to detail, but because of Basic Concepts I was aware of the lack of language use in my class. I am now using a different approach with my learners and being aware of the small details that make a big change in the way I teach and learners learn. Thank you for this eye opening course.
The programme is explicitly linked to the South African curriculum (NCS) and references issues which are confronted by all teachers and challenges of ‘laying foundational’ thinking.’
