This workshop is one of the most beneficial workshops I have attended. The trainer’s presentation style was warm, easy to follow and understand. I like that he included practical activities, examples and demonstrations.

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)

Die Bron Primary School: Visit 1
Encourages children to be observant and provides opportunity for building language skills - from basics to more complex.
Public Open Training, Cape Town (2014)
The course was very helpful to me as a teacher, excellent and exciting, because it opened my mind … how to integrate basic concept in all learning areas. It also showed that children should not be limited and their understanding should be developed step-by-step.
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.’
