- Hi, can I help you?
- I was told to come here, because I'd like to talk to someone about taking a management course.
- Right. I'm one of the tutors, so I should be able to help you.
- Oh, good.
- My name's Brian Ardley.
- I've decided to enroll on a part time management course.
- A friend of mine took one last year, and recommended it to me.
- Right.
- Is there anything I should do before the course, like reading or anything?
- We prefer to integrate reading with the course,
- so we don't give out a reading list in advance.
- But we like people to write a case study, describing an organisation they know.
- I've already done that, as my friends told me you wanted one.
- But would it be possible to sit in on a teaching session, to see what it's like?
- I haven't been a student for quite a while.
- Fine.
- Just let me know which date, and I'll arrange it with the tutor.
- Now, could I ask you about the college facilities, please?
- Anything in particular?
- Well, the course is one day a week, all day, isn't it?
- So presumably it's possible to buy food?
- Yes, the refectory's open all day.
- Does it cater for special diets? I have some food allergies.
- Provided you warn the refectory in advance, it won't be a problem.
- Good.
- What about facilities for young children?
- I'd like to bring my daughter here while I'm studying.
- How old is she?
- Three.
- Then she's eligible to join the nursery,
- which is supervised by a qualified Nursery Nurse.
- The waiting list for a place is quite long though, so you ought to apply now.
- Okay.
- I don't know if our careers advice service would be of any interest to you?
- Yes, it might help me decide how to develop my career after the course.
- The centre has a lot of reference materials, and staff qualified to give guidance on a one-to-one basis.
- I noticed a fitness centre next to the college.
- Is that for students?
- It's open to everyone, but students pay an annual fee that's much less than the general public pay.
- And presumably the college library stocks newspapers and journals, as well as books?
- Yes, and there's also an audio-visual room, for viewing and listening to videos, cassettes, and so on.
- Is there also access to computers?
- Yes, your tutor will need to arrange with the technical support team for you to get a password,
- so ask him or her about it when you start the course.
- Okay.
- By the way, do you know about our Business Centre?
- No, What's that?
- It's a training resource - a collection of materials for people to study on their own, or use in their own organisations.
- You mean books and videos?
- Yes, and manuals for self-study.
- Plus a lot of computer-based materials, so people can work through them at their own speed,
- and repeat anything they aren't sure about.
- And you can hire laptops to use in your own home or workplace
- as well as printers that you can take away.
- Does it have anything that I could use to improve my study skills?
- I don't have much idea about report writing,
- and I'm sure I'll need it on the course.
- Oh yes, there's plenty of useful material. Just ask one of the staff.
- Does the centre cover all the main areas of business?
- Yes, topics like finance, and of course marketing - that's a popular one.
- Local managers seem to queue up to borrow the videos!
- So it isn't just for students, then?
- No, it's for members only, but anyone can join.
- How much does it cost?
- £100 a year for a company,
- and £50 for an individual, with no discount for students, I'm afraid.
- That's very helpful.
- Well, I think that's all.
- I'd better go home and fill in the enrollment form.
- Thanks for all your help.
- You're welcome.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
