Bhangra fever takes hold at Training Connect

Semida Haji, Training Connect’s academic director, and other members of her team were at the Holiday Inn in Brentford on 17 May for the press launch of the UK Bhangra Music Awards (UKBMA) 2011. Many leading lights of the UK Asian Music scene were on hand to lend a touch of true star quality.

Presiding genius Pam Suri, director of Saregama Music and Dance Academy, welcomed sponsors and journalists for a special sneak preview of some of the delights awaiting guests at this year’s event, which takes place on September 11th at the prestigious Indigo 02 Arena.

“Organising an event on this scale would be a major undertaking for anyone,” said Semida Haji, “and the media spotlight is certain to be intense. But we have every faith Pam will pull it off with her usual flamboyant style! We wish her and all of those involved every best wish for a brilliantly successful event. We are certainly looking forward to it.”

ta na na na na na na na ta na na na na na na na VAT man

With the Festive period over and the New Year finally set in, many are finding prices for everyday goods like food and petrol increased, the hike in VAT has seen an enormous pressure on the purse strings of everyday people. To top this the cuts by the government and grants and benefits available are all slowly diminishing.

You'll be glad to know that as a provider or ESOL, IESOL, and Work Permits we have not added vat to any of our courses and so you can still continue to benefit from a pay once policy from as little as £200

Why not give us a call or visit our new website to see what we do and how we can help.

Coming up to the end of the year perhaps this is the last thing you want to hear what with Christmas just a few days away the mode is Ho Ho Ho and certainly not as the title suggest a time to speed up, however what with new VAT increases, Home office prices on the increase and changes to the overall way that the immigration system is being looked it certainly isn't a time to site and wait.

Sometime the simplest answers that will give us peace are but a question away, we however have no knowledge or then an ego because we feel we know too much and miss out on the really important part of asking.

There is always someone who knows more and it is to this person we must turn for peace, on a world level the college is called Training Connect on a spiritual level.. well that's another blog... have a Merry Christmas!

ESOL or ESOUL

Well both actually!
ESOL is the required course set by the UKBA for those who fail the life in the UK Test and if you're British like me, even you will find the questions a little on the tough side... ESOL stands for English Speakers of other Languages and for those who find it difficult or who fail they can alternatively attend a course of minimum 3 days which provides skills for life and improves the spoken English.

Training Connect has over 18 centres Nationally and provide a FREE initial assessment so you can pop in, visit their website www.trainingconnect.co.uk or call them on 0208 538 0248

The title is such because here at Training Connect we understand life is a journey in which we must do all we can to assist others and we put our life and soul into working with those who come to learn so that they can achieve their desires.

Some people pronounce ESOL as ESOUL and it got me thinking life is a course and to get where we are meant to we too cannot ignore our soul, or the fundamental questions: why are we here, what do we have to do and how long do we have left?
