This is a great little local centre where you can do all kinds of different courses for so many…read moredifferent weeks and for many different prices for each every course. I've taken some good writing courses and creative crafting courses there. They chop and change their course names and subjects regularly so checking their website or by going down to the centre and then asking for information at the reception desk in the main entrance. To go to the centre alone is free; but you pay for your class, either by paying for several weeks in advance or by paying just for that class and then just for every class that you turn up for. However, I got the feeling that they do prefer you to pay a full advance payment for the several weeks or so that you take the class for. The courses are entertaining and interesting and the prices are reasonable enough because of what you discover and learn from them is very satisfying and ultimately worthwhile. I do very much recommend this place, which is situated on Hammond Way road within the Penylan area. It is near to Albany and Wellfield road and Colchester Avenue.

I've recently been looking into the idea of attending an aromatherapy course over the winter…read moremonths. It strikes me as being a nurturing and warming thing to do whilst the weather outside does its worst! I have stumbled across a number of places in the region that offer courses in aromatherapy, but none that provide tuition so inexpensively as Barry Community Learning Centre. The carlton Institute charges several hundred pounds for a really short course, but here they charge a fraction of this. They also run some other great courses that I may well consider doing, like Tai Chi for instance! (I think I'll give the belly dancing a miss). All the classes are in the evenings and so it's ideal for people who work 9 to 5! I'll see you there!

This college is brilliant. With so much on offer, everyone here wants you to further your education…read moreand make the best of yourself. Having attended an open day and informal interview i was pleased with the way people were generally concerned for your welfare and academic skills. Teamed with various other authorities and establishments there really is something for everyone here and being a stone throw away from the town centre it seems in the perfect location to. Amenities here are second to none as i got a tour of the computer suite and library. Probably one of the best colleges around. Go learn, party people!

I have recently had dealings with Adecco as my previous job became boring so I took the plunge and…read morequit. My inability to budget with monthly pay was apparent so I thought I'd sign up for temporary employment and go for a weekly paycheck to make budgeting easier. I signed up and within 24 hours they found me a job in the sector I was looking for. There were loads of forms to fill out as expected but all were relatively painless. I spoke to a representative over the phone who was very helpful but did not work in this office. The dealing I had here were less than helpful. The people here didn't know whether I had to wear a suit or not or even what time I had to start at my new job. All in all the company as a whole found me a job really quickly but the people in this office weren't so helpful.

This is an employment agency that supplies teachers and other staff to schools and further…read moreeducation colleges. They mainly cover schools in the Bridgend County Borough and the Vale of Glamorgan Borough areas, but occasionally they may have other vacancies. My impression of them is that they are somewhat disorganised and that although they have procedures, they don't always follow them. They are based on an enterprise park outside Bridgend. This makes them difficult to visit unless you have a car and so most communication with them has to be done by phone or email. They are in a competitive field and stretch the truth a little in order to get candidates to sign up with them. i.e. jobs described pre-registration do not always materialise post registration

We worked through it in incredible detail until she was happy with my performance. I've never spoken in public before and I was terrified. But Helen gave me so much confidence that the event went really well and lots of people (including my boss) commented on my professional and relaxed performance!!! Public speaking doesn't phase me now and that's all thanks to Helen at Cardiff Speech and Drama. Thank you.

This foundation trains journalists, and offers consultancy and media training to management within…read moreorganisations. It does this through a range of courses and workshops led by hands-on professionals, spanning all areas of traditional and new media including television, print, radio, print, online, management, and photojournalism. While some courses are openly advertised and open to individuals, others are bespoke courses created to meet the specific media training needs of a particular organisation. Many of their alumni have risen to the top in TV, radio, print or photojournalism. Others have made their mark with NGOs, governments and in the private sector. The Thomson Foundation doesn't just provide consultancy services and training, however, it also works with various international partners on big, strategic projects that cover whole continents. These partners are sometimes governments, commercial giants or major media players, and project aims are diverse - but the outcomes usually focus on the foundation's mission to raise media standards and increase access to open, fair information for all.
