The STARTER-PACK is your complete START-UP to skills training, learnerships and career success.

Your decisions on whether to take the FOUR STEPS TO CAREER SUCCESS will affect the rest of your life.

STEP 1     You must buy the STARTER-PACK.

STEP 2     Hold the STARTER-PACK in your hands. 
Say;  'I am holding the future of
  my life in my hands'.

STEP 3     Work through the STARTER-PACK.  The STARTER-PACK is a comprehensive skills development program.   It covers:

STEP 4     The STARTER-PACK outlines the various methods you must use in order to get a LEARNERSHIP or other paid training.  The options YOU take depend on YOU.

The Government is collecting  NINE  THOUSAND  MILLION  RAND over the next five years under authority of the Skills Development Levies Act.  This money will be spent on LEARNERSHIPS  and  recognized  SKILLS DEVELOPMENT.

QUESTIONS:

ANSWER:   

ONE:
Firms use  SELECTION  TESTS  and  TRAINABILITY  TESTS to  choose the  lucky few who get  LEARNERSHIPS,  TRAINING and a  SECURE  FUTURE.

TWO:
Test-item  simulations in the STARTER-PACK show  you what challenges you face for the different types of test:

THREE:
Some trainability  tests use specialised equipment (ie. electrical  panels and mechanical assemblies)  but many trainability tests use pencil-and-paper multiple-choice formats.

FOUR:
“Culturally  neutral”  trainability  tests minimise the use of language by using graphics.  The idea is to challenge the candidate’s  ability to LEARN the  new and unexpected.  The problems focus on the candidate’s   BASIC  LOGIC  BRAIN- POWER  to  analyse  and process data.

FIVE:
BASIC  LOGIC  BRAIN  PROCESSES  can be represented using two-state truthtables,  logic gates and  switching circuits.  Boolean  algebra can be used to process complex functions to obtain simple intuitive outputs. The  STARTER-PACK has over 50 pages which structure  TRAINABILITY  using two-state analysis, tests  and worksheets.  Cybernetics  (Boolean Thinking) is the foundation of a logical and intuitive  learning process.

SIX:
The  STARTER-PACK  focuses on two approaches to  TEST and  CAREER  SUCCESS :
LONG-TERM  STRATEGIES:  These include improving your English,  Mathematics and Technology  Skills  Bases.
SHORT-TERM  TACTICS:  Tactics for test success include:
