What Does ABET Mean?

The term ABET stands for Adult Basic Education and Training. Its purpose is to equip uneducated South Africans with essential skills to enhance their quality of life. ABET centers have been established nationwide across all provinces.

The ABET curriculum starts at the grade 1 level and extends through to grade 12, culminating in a matric certification upon completion of the program.
