How to register an Abet centre: You’ve received training to teach adults and are keen to put your knowledge to work. Now what? You can choose to go into academia as a lecturer teaching other students what is involved in being an ABET practitioner. Alternatively you can find employment in an organisation that cares enough out its employees to provide them with further education, or you can open your own ABET / FET centre either to teach literacy, life skills and numeracy or a more technical skill at a higher level. To comply with legislation, there are certain requirements if you choose this path. If you choose to teach a technical skill, please note the following notice from the dhet.
