Questions worth asking

What will I be able to do after this lesson? Which skills do employers in Cape Town want? How can I practise when I have no laptop? Write your questions down before class so you do not forget them.

Do not wait until the exam to say you are lost. Tell your teacher or tutor as soon as a topic feels hard. Zanele Mahlangu and the support team reply to learners quickly and kindly.
