‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

I now have a broader knowledge of how to teach various concepts and reach all intelligences and learning styles.

Louis I salute you. I am empowered by the presentation. Never a dull moment even though the weather was hot. I've already implemented the programme with my learners.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (February, 2016)
We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.
Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015
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.

‘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)
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.’
