I really cannot wait to start- I want all my children to be Grade 1 ready at the end of this year.

What I understand about the Basic Concepts Programme is that it is very useful in all subjects. I must implement it in every lesson. I must also try to be as accurate and precise as possible when teaching.

‘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)

Teacher Feedback

Very informative, well presented, engaging, coherent and thought provoking.

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.
