BSY Courses

Advantages: So many courses!
Disadvantages: You've got to motivate yourself!

...BSY offers over 250 courses for anyone to undertake at home (though some do require a final examination in a particular place). When I decided to get my life in order I looked for the cheapest and best place to do Pet Psychology and BSY won, so I rang them up and the really nice lady offered me a 2 for 1 deal and I'm now doing Holistic Animal Healing also. Now, I'm not the most motivated person in the world - bear in mind I started this in Jan 2006! Anyway, I've finally sent off my final examinations and hopefully I'll receive qualifications soon. Everything I received and needed for the course was sent through the post with envelopes to send it back once completed. I get to keep all the course materials too. I know that different courses require you to purchase your own equipment and take exams so I can only comment on the 2 above...

Toni and Guy's student hairdressing

Advantages: free or cheap haircuts by academy students
Disadvantages: no choice- took ages to grow back to normal length wearing a headscarf most of the time

...I was an alien. A few people said "You had your hair cut- it looks so different- wow." He demanded I go back another time to be photographed for his final examination. He had not mentioned this at the preliminary cutting. His teacher did not pass him on the haircut- said one side was shorter than the other and insisted he shorten the other and even out the length all over. I decided that I would never never go to another hairdressing salon. It took many months (wearing a headscarf in as many variations of style as I could) for me to go out and feel confident about my hair. It has always taken ages to grow since I had it cut when I was 15 from waist length to shoulder length. Although my experience of this student was something I will never forget, it has not prevented either of my teenage daughters from going to the academy to be...

Alpha course

Advantages: The people will be friendly and there will be a good atmosphere
Disadvantages: The program is structured so that awkward questions are not asked

...You should be aware that the Alpha Course is one mans version of what Christianity is all about, a man called Nicky Gumbell. I am a Christian myself, but would disagree with a lot of what he writes. He sees everything from a Charismatic perspective and the whole aim of the course is climaxed by a day or weekend away where perhaps some people will lay hands on you to receive what he calls the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Its important for you to know that its mainly Christians from a Charismatic church or pentecostal belief who would believe in such a thing. Most christians would say you have the holy Spirit the moment you become a Christian, and is not a "second stage" Most people who attend Alpha courses are already Christians, and a lot of very important questions just aren't covered, and its less than honest in its opinions...

Number one accountancy course

Advantages: Exam focused, gets results
Disadvantages: Expensive

...BPP offer a range of courses to help students pass various accountancy qualifications(these are CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW, AAT and various insolvency qualifications). They also offer law, marketing and Human Resources help. There are 23 centres across the UK where you can study. BPP offers a variety of different courses - subject courses and revision courses. The subject courses are around 400 pounds each and last three days. Revision course are closer to the exam date and cost around 300 pounds and also last two days. The quality of the course obviously depends to an extent on the quality of the lecturer. Although I have found (and heard) that they are very good and really know who to teach. The emphasis is very much on passing the exams, so questions and revision are on what you will be examined on. There is no reading "around...

Colchester Hairdressers

Advantages: They know what THEY want
Disadvantages: Do not listen to the customer.

...I went to the hairdressers today....which now I regret AGAIN! I used to live in Leicester, the hairdressers I used there was brillant in doing what the customer wanted. I would go in with a couple of pictures and my hair was done almost exactly as the pictures were. I went every 6 weeks or so for years and never had a complaint with them. Then a couple of years ago I moved to Colchester, BAD HAIR MOVE! I must point out first, my hair is thin but naturally curly and at the time long. went to three different hairdressers over the first few years just for a tidy up with not much of a problem except they did not seem to know about scrunch drying, but it was ok as the cut was ok. My sister suggested going to a bigger named salon like I did in Lecester, so I went to Tony and Guy. I showed them pictures as I want the style...

Basic Cisco Course

Advantages: More money @ work, More Knowledge
Disadvantages: !!!!!!

...I work in the Network Security Industry & work for a company called Equant (Who provide Global Network solutions & own the largest privately owned Network in the World), & was looking for a basic level Cisco course to achieve an acreditation. The ICND course (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices) is an ideal course to start. Although very Cisco orientated (as you could imagine), it doe sgive you a valuable basic knowledge of how the Cisco products interact with each other & other devices & networks (ie: Novell, which has recently dumped it's own IPX protocol, in favour of IP, this makes things easier as you can now deal with IP addressing & not just MAC addresses). I went on an ICND course provided by a company called Getronics, based in Milton Keynes, I am now planning to take the Cisco CCNA exam, which is the first Certification...

Horror at the hairdresser's!

Advantages: Fun to read, author doesn't take himself too seriously
Disadvantages: The suspense of disbelief goes a little too far this time...

...When Carole is forced to change her hairdresser to a more local one, she doesn't expect to become involved in another murder. Yet involved she does become when she witnesses the owner find her assistant, Kyra, dead in the back room. The obvious suspect is Kyra's boyfriend, Nathan, who just happens to have gone missing. Carole and her friend and sleuthing partner, Jude, become involved in the investigation, and get to know Nathan's family a bit better than they would have liked; certainly they suspect that they may know more about Nathan's disappearance than they are lettingon. They also make contact with Kyra's former boss, who she was planning to sue for sexual harrassment and her strict, elderly father who didn't approve of Kyra having a boyfriend. As the list of suspects grows, can Carole and Jude find out the truth without becoming...

Excellent Course

Advantages: Qualification at end
Disadvantages: More work

...I have surrently undetaken the Cisco Certified netowking course and I would like to recomment it to any one else who may find it to be beneficail t there career. The Cisco course is very informative and if you have an interest in netwoking you may enjoy it. You wil learn all the basics in networking such as topologies and ethernet, tcp/ip etc that is very interesting. The course cost £1500 but the offer has been given to me at my college at no extra cost. At the end of the course you are given a certified netwoking qualification that may be useful in the future. The course is very intersting and I recomment it to others....

Review of Cisco Certified Networking Course

Elmwood Golf Course, near Cupar

Advantages: Easy walking, not arduous, superb catering
Disadvantages: The course has some settling to do

...This course was constructed by Elmwood College, which is the top European College for Golf Management Studies, and opened in 1997. Regrettably, I think they have to study a bit harder. To give it the benefit of the doubt, the course was originally agricultural land and still has a lot of settling in to do. You still get the feeling of walking from field to field as a lot of the original walls are still there. The surrounding countryside is open farmland with Tarvit Hill to the south and Lomond Hills to the west. It’s a lovely setting and the welcome cannot be faulted. THE COURSE It’s a par 70 (sss 68) for men and par 73 (sss72) for ladies. The course is pretty straightforward with only a few greenside bunkers (no fairway bunkers). The only real problem is the knee high rough if you are really wayward. 1...
