Aberdeen ABET Learners Excel

Four learners from Aberdeen’s ABET centre excelled in their level four exams at the end of last year. Top student was Leonie Bedaar, who achieved an A grade in both Human & Social Science and Arts & Culture with her other subjects attaining B and C grades. Rudy Jacobs and Roeline Fick also achieved an A grade in the same subjects.
Esteline de Jager, coordinator for ABET in Aberdeen, is very proud of her students and justifiably so. “They are all such a pleasure to work with, and so enthusiastic. If one of them is finding some of the work difficult, they all help each other, and by doing this they reinforce their own learning” said Esteline.
This year the level 4 students are taking Afrikaans, English, Maths Literacy and Ancillary Health Care. On completion of level 4, students are awarded a General Education and Training Certificate, which is equivalent to a Grade 12 (matric) certificate.
So far this year, 130 students have enrolled for the ABET courses and still more are expected.
