Goals and objectives were clear, easy to grasp and manageable. The enthusiasm and energy with which the course was presented made for an enjoyable 3 days!

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.
Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)
The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.

The BCP is about the way we talk to the children in class and how we give lessons in class. How we should introduce a topic to the children and mediate with them.
Northern Cape Project (Phase 2, 2020-2021): Training Feedback
We were taught the theory as well as the practice. I now feel confident to start to implement the programme with my class and even with my nieces and nephews.
Mitchell's Plain Primary School, November 2015
The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.
The programme is explicitly linked to the South African curriculum (NCS) and references issues which are confronted by all teachers and challenges of ‘laying foundational’ thinking.’
