In order to ensure that the provider of Adult Basic Education and Training is providing the best possible service to learners business needs to ensure that the provider is accredited by government and the relevant training authorities. If this is not the case the learner will not be able to take advantage of the certification they obtain which will, in effect be worthless. The business will also be out of pocket to the tune of several thousands of Rands, something that no business can afford in these economically stressful times. For this reason ABET accreditation is an absolute must and it is up to the business to ensure that the provider complies.
