Well I found out tonight that once a month the Mancat catering students run an onsite bar &…read morerestaurant and I have to say I was blown away by the standard of food & the quality of the staff. Each month is a particular theme - tonight was Grill night. Starter choice was soup, shish kebab or Caesar salad. I had the shish kebab and it was Devine. Succulent, definitely home made and served on a small pitta with mint dressing - fancy restaurant style not kebab house style, For main I had rib-eye with peppercorn sauce, fat chips and watercress - all as good as a lot of the steaks I've eaten in some decent steak houses (trust me - steak is defo a speciality of mine). To finish I had chocolate roulade, chocolate sorbet, vanilla ice cream and cherry jus. This was equally as good as everything else. The icing on the cake, as well as the wonderful service, was the price - £14.95!!! What a wonderful find of a place to eat in North Manchester - Moston!!! Next month is a 6 course tasting menu & I can 100% say I will be going. Great food, great staff, great views out of the fourth floor of the Campus building and all for a ridiculously cheap price! Massive well done to the students and staff that make this possible - you're doing an amazing job.

A great place to take an Executive PA course, legal secretarial course or a bookkeeping course.read more

The School Sound Recording (known by most as SSR) is a leading media training facility and…read morerecording studio. Winner of the Manchester Evening News 'Business of the Year Award' in 2009, SSR has been attracting a lot of attention recently, and rightly so. The venue is a little out of the way but inside the bland looking building is a sweetshop full of studios, suites and computer labs to satisfy any nerd's wildest fantasies. All of their facilities and equipment are top of the range and expertly kept. Aside from running a tight ship the staff at SSR are great teachers, offering courses to suit a range of interests, levels and abilities. Alongside the teaching spaces and little dark rooms with twiddly nobs and pushy buttons are a few great places to hang out. There is a large live performance space where bands play and record and a penthouse recording studio graced by the likes of The Smiths, New Order and The Stone Roses back in the day. I'd highly recommend SSR to anyone looking to further their media career or learn their way around some new software. Rates are competitive with those at similar studios like Futureworks, but I'd say SSR is just a tiny bit more special.

I praise Cervantes for its successful launch of KinoFilm's 11th European Short film festival. It…read moreisn't a fair review, as it's primary services is being the biggest world institution dedicated to teaching Spanish and I'm yet to dare try this lingo. It's location on Deansgate means I always walk past it with intrigue. It's a pretty building sitting next to Greek partner Dimitri's with Don Marco on it's other neighbouring side, a very European corner indeed come to think about it. Inside I didn't realise how big it was. Waiting to enter the launch I found out they hold Salsa classes and Argentinian Tango classes if I was ever feeling adventurous enough. Entering the screening room was grand. The very high roof was impressive, gorgeous. We were seated like it was a neighbourhood watch meeting and at times I did feel like we were in a community hall. But I'd just have to look up to remind myself of the beauty of this building. Overall Cervantes did a good job in showcasing the work for the event and provided me and my friend with some good wine. I'm just sorry I don't have an urge to learn Spanish...

I've been taking a conversation/grammar class at Instituto Cervantes for a couple of months now and…read moreoverall I've been very happy with it. The class is actually a bit too difficult for me but they cancelled both the intermediate and advanced conversation classes so I didn't have much choice. Generally though the grammar exercises have been useful and the reading set for conversation very interesting. It could be slightly better organised in terms of sending us links for the articles and controlling the class more so we don't go massively off topic or ending up spending the whole class on grammar with no chat, but these are minor issues in what generally has been a good learning experience. The building is quite beautiful and historic and has been nicely remodelled using a lot of glass. The downside to this is that it is quite noisy, which is not ideal for language classes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend IC if you'd like to learn Spanish though, and one extra bonus is that if you sign up for a class you get a whole year free membership of the library which has loads of DVDs as well as books.

The courses range from beginners 1 all the way up to advanced. Each course last 10 weeks with one three hour session a week - mainly during the evenings. Although, some courses are offered on a Saturday morning. Average class sizes are around 10 people. Cost of courses are pretty cheap at £5 an hour. One course offers 130 hours of teaching. The Alliance also has a library with a range of French dvd's, novels and newspapers - awesome! You want even more? Then you can attend the book club or watch a scheduled film with others. Highly recommend the courses here - I have completed Beginners 1 and starting Beginners 2.

The Alliance offers classes in French at varying levels - from beginner's basics to complex classes for those who are almost fluent. They also host cultural events from plays in French to screenings of French cinema, as well as lots of one-off educational events. The offices themselves feel a little schoolish - lots of flyers and posters everywhere - but this is a learning environment and it is very welcoming. The staff are really really lovely and make you feel really welcome - even when you attempt to speak French terribly badly and embarrass yourself. They are patient and interesting and go out of their way to help you out. Tres bien.
