One-Day College Courses Inquiry

Hello, Steynford College external course registration, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm ringing to find out about one-day classes next year.
I got a leaflet about them in the post but I lost it,
and I understand some of the classes are filling up fast,
so I might need to book quite soon if I want to go ahead.
Sure.
Can you remember which one you were considering?
There were a few actually.
I remember there was one on how to make Vietnamese food that sounded good.
I think that was on the 13th of January.
It cost about £60.
Yes, you're right about the date, but it's £59 actually.
It's a very popular class,
and among other things the teacher explains how Vietnamese food includes lots of different herbs.
I'm afraid that all the places are taken at present,
but I can put you on the waiting list if you want?
No, that's okay.
I'm quite interested in the bread making class.
That's in March sometime, isn't it?
Yeah, the 20th of March.
Would you like to register for that?
I'm not sure.
How much is it?
The actual cost is £48
but then there's an extra charge as well as that for the ingredients.
I'm not sure how much that is, no more than £20 I think.
So what sorts of things do they make in the class?
Oh, various types of bread;
I think they make white bread and then they make sourdough,
that seems to be very fashionable at present,
and they learn how to make pizza, which is apparently really good.
Well I'd definitely be interested in that,
but there were also a few other classes that sounded interesting.
I think there was one on face massage?
I'd love to learn how to do that.
Yeah, that's on the 23rd of February
and it costs just £35 for the day.
The teacher's great,
the type of massage done is a traditional technique used in India
and she actually did her training there.
The massage is meant to relax you and get rid of lines and wrinkles.
You practise it on yourself
so you have to take a mirror to the class, so you can see what you're doing.
Okay.
And I think there was a class in candle making?
Yes that's sometime in April, I think.
Let me check...
Ah... yes, it's on the 6th.
It was on the 23rd of January but they had to change the date.
It's just £52.
That's a popular course too.
I think one reason why people like it is because the candles are all made out of natural products.
It's filling up fast but there's still a few places left.
Yes one of my friends did that class.
She said the candles make really good presents.
In fact she gave me one.
By the way, have you heard about the class on silk painting?
That's being held on the 18th of May.
You learn how to create designs on silk fabric and colour them using special dyes.
Apparently people can produce beautiful artworks that way,
either to put on the wall as a picture or to use for something like a scarf.
It's £67.50,
which is really good value I think,
there's a similar class I've seen that was £110.
That sounds interesting.
Would I need to bring the silk?
No, the only thing is everyone has to bring something to protect their clothing,
like an apron if you've got one,
or a shirt that you don't use any more,
because the dye can really stain your clothes.
Right.
Then the last class I was considering was a bit different,
that was on DIY for beginners.
I'd like to learn how to do household repairs.
Are there any places left on that?
That's on the 24th of February,
yes, there are a few places.
It's a bit more expensive,
it's £125,
but it's a very popular class.
You learn how to use an electric drill and a saw.
Yeah, that would be really useful,
and I even need to learn how to use a hammer
because I always end up hitting my fingers.
Yes, you'll do that too.
And when you've learned how to use the basic tools, you do a practical job
which is fixing a shelf to a wall.
Great. Just what I need to know.
Right, well I'd like to enrol for that...
