New Courses Nail IT
Two Forth Valley College lecturers stepped out of their comfort zones to experience brand new evening classes being launched at the Alloa Campus.
Eian Allardice, a Computing Lecturer, got to grips with nail design whilst Beauty Lecturer Naomi Nettleton gained an insight in to the world of building and upgrading PCs.
The two courses ‘Glam Nails’ and ‘Building or Upgrading your PC’ will start next week (24 November) and run for four weeks on a Thursday evening at the College’s new state-of-the-art campus in Alloa Town Centre.
Glam nails will provide skills in nail care and design just in time for the party season. And the new computing course will go beyond basic IT skills to enable learners to build or upgrade PC systems avoiding the need to get experts involved.
Forth Valley College is keen that these courses will be the first of many to be introduced to the campus. The new facility will aim to offer a wide range of provision which meets the needs of the local area and with this in mind, Naomi and Eian stepped up to get a taster of these two very different courses.
Naomi said: “The ‘Glam Nails’ course is perfect for those who want to look their best and get their nails in shape for all their Christmas nights out. It provides the basic skills to add a bit of sparkle to your look, plus you’ll also be able to work your magic on family and friends.
“It was interesting to find out what the computing course involves and I think it would offer some really useful skills.”
Eian said: “The ‘Building or Upgrading a PC’ course is ideal for those interested in how computers really work and will provide basic skills in putting a computer together at home. Anyone can do it; it’s a course for total beginners. Learners who are able to fix their own PCs may also be able to save money.
“My nail care taster was an experience!”
