    If you need a space to work, this Is a place, they offer stables and cupboards. If you need a photographer, heres a place to get one. If you need a graphics designer, hello. If you need a word with a fashion designer, you get the point.

    Disappointed with this place, wanted to do a graphic design course as I was struggling to find a job in interior design and thought I'll be able to get experience elsewhere which will help me with a design career however they took all my details got me ready but never started the course,well that's what they said to me, also telling me it'll start last year September but it never did i gave them a number of calls and they replied saying they will give me an exact date which they never did and told me to wait a little longer I waited for a couple months and when i phoned them again they said they don't know when it will start but will email me confirming the start date of the graphic design and they just never did, very disappointed with them as they took all details which they needed but I never even did the course...
