During 2008, the national Department of Education initiated the development of learning and teaching support materials (LTSM) for ABET Level 2, focussing on the following learning areas: Language, Literacy and Communication; Mathematics; Economic and Management Sciences; Social Sciences; Natural Sciences and Ancillary Health Care.

While the latter four learning areas have been integrated and combined into one book, titled Active Living Integrated Studies for ABET Level 2, the first two books were titled Active English for ABET Level 2 and Knowing Numbers for ABET Level 2 Numeracy. Furthermore, unit standards for ABET Level 4 have recently been revised and registered with the South African Qualifications Authority.
