We’re rested and ready for action. We’ve got some great courses for you to pick from, and we are just putting the finishing touches to some cracking new ones.
Our virtual doors re-open on the 15th September, so come along and book a place on one of our choice, succulent courses.

It’s July, and as is customary here at NCS Towers, we are slowing down and taking a break for a while. We’re back in action in August. If you need to contact us urgently before then, please use the contact us page, and someone will get back to you.
Have a happy summer folks.

The sharp eyed ones amongst you will have noticed that the web site has had a bit of a spruce up. It’s essentially the same as the old site, but is now built using Wordpress. This makes it easier to manage and edit.
If all that means nothing to you, then count yourself amongst the blessed who live normal lives. Just enjoy the colours.
Counselling is a growing profession, and for many counselling practitioners a course such as this is a first step to becoming a counsellor.
As well as providing you with an opportunity to increase your understanding of counselling, this course will also enable you to develop some important skills which you might be able to apply in your work context and in the wider aspect of your life.
The first run of this course begins on 4th May, but bookings are possible now.
For full details and enrolment details, take a look at: Essential Skills in Counselling.
Note: This course is approved for ILA Scotland Funding. If you qualify, please let us know and we will process your application.
The iPad. At last: a bit of learning technology kit that won’t get in the way of learning. Finally, a device that will actually enhance learning, and in my particular interest, online learning at home.
Robert Burns
A happy Burns’ Nicht tae ane an’ a.’ We’re looking forward tae oor haggis and champit neeps and tatties and we hope you can join in too. If none of this makes any sense to you, may we recommend a visit to the online Scots dictionary. And if that rouses your interest in things Scottish, why not try a course of Scottish History with the New Curiosity Shop.
If tonight you are having your first Burns’ Supper, there are full instructions here at rabbie-burns.com. Have fun.
It’s a new year and time for some new initiatives. If you are enjoying winter weather as snowy as we are in Scotland, it might be an idea to find an indoor pursuit as we start 2010. What better way to while away the hours while you wait for the snow ploughs than by expanding your mind with an NCS course?
Winter in Dumfries
We hope you all thaw out soon and that 2010 will be a very good year for you.
In the small hours of tomorrow morning, NASA’s LCROSS spacecraft will crash land on the moon. The craft will be deliberately hard-landed in two sections providing data about the composition of the lunar surface. NASA TV will provide live coverage and you can find out more on the Spaceweather site.
