Abstract	The impacts of the adult basic education and training (ABET) courses offered by the Centre for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) in South Africa's Northern Cape Province were examined. Data were collected through questionnaires, open-ended and semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Of the 221 students enrolled in the certificate course in 1996-1999, 148 (67%) completed it, and of the 90 students enrolled in the advanced diploma course, 54 (60%) completed it. Most advanced course completers remained in the jobs they held while in the course, and only eight completers were currently working in ABET provision. The advanced course's greatest success lay in its impact on organizational development and designing learning events. No correlation was found between completing the certificate course and access to employment; however, all respondents credited the certificate courses with substantially increasing their self-confidence, ability to act independently, and understanding of cultural diversity. The certificate course had a positive impact on income, especially in rural areas. (Thirty tables/figures are included. The bibliography lists 62 references. The document's 13 appendixes include the following items: CACE evaluation questionnaire; interview guidelines; list of materials examined; sample outcomes; information about the survey respondents and course funding mechanisms; and lists of individuals interviewed and staff involved in Northern Cape programs.)
