History THE GREAT WAR 1914-18: AN INTRODUCTION The Great War shaped the society in which we live but few now understand its background. The origins of the war, the problems of fighting on the Western Front, the terrible horrors of the Somme and Passchendaele are now either forgotten or misunderstood. This was a total war with the fighting moving underwater and into the skies for the first time. The slaughter was incredible and conflicts still rage today which have their origins in 1914-1918. In a series of lectures and discussions, we try to shed some light on key aspects of this world-shattering event. 482 Mon 10.00-12.00 22.9.08 AC P Hart 1 term 1H MYTHS OF THE GREAT WAR – The popular view of the First World War has been over-run by the myths of lions led by donkeys. Of uncaring stupid generals sending their troops to slaughter from chateaux far behind the lines. The agenda has been largely set by ‘Oh What a Lovely War’, ‘Blackadder goes Forth’ and the popular war poets. But there is another view of the Great War and this themed series of talks examines some of the most controversial questions. Students will be encouraged to participate in discussion following the lecture and to prepare their own research topics for presentation. 483 Mon 10.00-12.30 12.1.09 AC P Hart 1 term 1H

Investment & Personal Finance RETIREMENT & Inheritance Tax Planning It used to be the case that inheritance tax was the exclusive preserve of the very wealthy. Now, however, inheritance tax is chargeable at 40% on estates in excess of £312,000 for single people and £624,000 for couples (upper limit of the ‘nil-rate band’). The new rules still leave some room for manoeuvre. You can

protect your estate from inheritance tax. There are many options, but it is important to ensure you stay on the right side of the new regulations. 493 Wed 7.30-9.30 24.9.08 IN K Stuart 3 weeks £34 494 Wed 7.30-9.30 14.1.09 IN K Stuart 3 weeks £34 495 Wed 7.30-9.30 29.4.09 IN K Stuart 3 weeks £34 The Risks and Rewards of Investment Numerous surveys point to the need for the public to have more financial knowledge. The course helps to meet this requirement by providing an impartial forum for examining recent stock market trends, thereby showing both the risks and rewards of investing. It explores the factors that lie behind these volatile movements. It will familiarise you with the necessary financial and economic jargon, as well as examining differing interpretations of the current market, both bullish and bearish. A variety of investment products will be considered according to risk/reward criteria, thereby providing the background for building or reviewing a portfolio and/or allocating your assets. 496 Wed 7.30-9.30 15.10.08 IN A Rix 7 weeks 1E 497 Wed 7.30-9.30 4.2.09 IN A Rix 7 weeks 1E

Diets are often too laborious to follow, make you obsessed with food, turn normal food into forbidden fruit, lead to intense cravings which eventually force you to eat, distort your thinking ability, alienate you from your natural feeling of hunger and have nothing to do with will power. It’s not about the food we eat – it’s about our approach to losing weight and how we can become lighter both mentally and physically. Humour will be required to help us to go through the programme effortlessly. Bring your curiosity… and something to nibble on. 536 Thu 1.00-3.00 30.4.09 IN T Martel 5 weeks 1C

Self-Esteem & Assertiveness – On this course we try to make sure that every aspect of your life receives its appropriate share of care and attention. Through enhancing your self esteem you’ll learn eventually how to value yourself. Through learning to be assertive, you’ll develop effective communication techniques to use, especially when the going gets tough. Through emotional intelligence you’ll learn how to re-tune your mind so that you can spot your emotions before they overwhelm you. The idea is that when you feel good about yourself, you’ll be motivated rather than depressed, more attractive, socially competent – strong enough to take risks and try new things. 537 Mon 7.30-9.30 22.9.08 IN T Martel 3 terms 3G Speed Reading – If reading what you have to read takes longer than you’d like, or if you don’t get the time to read what you really want to read, this workshop is for you.

So if you spend half your working life reading, you’ll save more than a day a week... forever. 538 Wed 10.00-5.00 3.12.08 IN T Scott 1 day £56 Voice Matters: Speaking with Confidence Why do we need a whole term for this subject? Because our voice is as unique as our fingerprints. It can paint a vivid personality profile that affects how people perceive us. On the course we will not expose you but will look at what your voice image is, and how to influence other people’s attitude with your voice; how to develop your optimal voice; and how to find your natural pitch, quality and force. We hope that by the end you will be able to express yourself in ways which will give life to your words, break the ice, relax both yourself and others, captivate the imagination and warm the heart. 539 Thu 7.30-9.30 25.9.08 AC T Martel 1 term 1K 540 Thu 1.00-3.00 15.1.09 IN T Martel 1 term 1K WEEKEND COURSES: Meditation for Beginners – Learn how to meditate in a simple contemporary way, without any particular spiritual orientation, and sitting comfortably.

You may bring with you an interesting piece of writing or object of art and describe it to us.

Fees & Admission Information

CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FACILITY Mastercard, Visa, Delta, Solo, Switch and some other card facilities can be used for enrolments. We do not accept American Express or Diners’ Club.

REDUCED FEES There are concessions, applying to Barnet residents only, for senior citizens and those on Income Support, Incapacity Benefit or Jobseeker’s Allowance – see Fee Table or Enrolment Form. Funds are available from THE DAME HENRIETTA BARNETT FUND to help Institute students in financial need. The Trustees will consider requests to help with course fees, books etc. Application forms from the Institute Office.

FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, unless a class is closed within 3 weeks of the beginning of term due to insufficient enrolments, or for reasons beyond our control, when a pro-rata refund will be given. Please note, however, that if, due to circumstances beyond our control, a teacher leaves part of the way through a course and a suitable replacement is found, the course will continue and refunds will not be given. REFUNDS ARE NOT GIVEN FOR ANY CHANGE IN YOUR CHOICE OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

EXAMINATION COURSES

ADMISSION TO CLASSES & COURSE ALTERATIONS

In most cases enrolment fees must be paid in full at the start of the course. In special circumstances the fee can be paid in two instalments. The second payment must be made with a cheque post-dated to 1 December 2008 and handed in at the time of enrolment. Where exam fees are not included in the enrolment fee, an estimate of cost (based on last year’s charges) can be given on request by the examinations officer Mavis Bradbury 020 8829 4125. GCSE, ‘AS’ and ‘A’ Level students should note that their courses will last a maximum of 29 weeks.

We reserve the right to refuse admission, change the teacher or venue, or, where there are insufficient enrolments, to close a course or alter the course length. Other than with the agreement of the Principal or Vice Principal students will not be admitted to classes without payment of the fee. Pupils still at Secondary School will not normally be admitted to evening classes unless they are 16 years old before 1st September 2008 and the Head Teacher of their Secondary School approves.

TEXT BOOKS, ART MATERIALS, PHOTOCOPYING, SPORTS EQUIPMENT ETC. Students are expected to provide their own text books, art materials etc and pay a small charge for photocopied course notes where these are issued extensively. Work produced in craft classes does not become the property of the student until purchased.

TRANSFERS If you wish to transfer, you may be able to do so subject to availability and permission of the class teacher. If a transfer is arranged, the fee that has been paid can be used towards the cost of other courses in the current year. Where a transfer is made to a less expensive course, we cannot refund any difference in the fees. Any balance could, however, be used towards the cost of enrolment on other courses in the 2008/9 programme. If a credit note is issued for future use a £15 administrative charge will be made. For Computing Courses only, if the transfer is requested less than 10 working days before the course start date a charge of 50% of the full course fee will be made; no transfers can be made once the course has begun. Please note: once a credit or refund is issued the student no longer has priority enrolment in the class for any future term.

Our main site in East Finchley and our Arts Centre both have lifts, but unfortunately this does not apply to all the buildings we use. We can often assist, however, for example by relocating a class to the ground floor, or accommodating helpers or guide dogs in classes. We cannot accept responsibility for an unsuitable venue, course or equipment if you choose not to disclose your special requirements. Please inform your teacher and/or the Institute Office of any medical condition (eg epilepsy) which may affect you in class. Such information will be treated as strictly confidential.

LEARNING SUPPORT The Institute is committed to helping students to succeed. If you wish we can provide support with number skills, writing skills, study skills and English language skills. If you find you need extra learning support during your course, please let your teacher, head of department or John O’Brien (020 8829 4141) know, and we will do our best to help. If you are on an accredited course you may be eligible for additional support funding from the Learning and Skills Council.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MONITORING We are committed to promoting equal opportunities in all areas of our organisation from the recruitment and employment of our staff to our services to our students. We seek to provide an environment in which all individuals are encouraged to achieve their maximum potential and suffer no discrimination whatsoever on the grounds of race, gender, religious or political belief, sexual orientation, age, colour, marital status or disability. We are required to monitor the ethnic origins of our users to help to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the whole community. Would you please, therefore, complete the box on the enrolment form as appropriate. Thank you for your co-operation.

STUDENT ABSENCES Please note that if you do not attend your class for 3 consecutive weeks without notifying us of the reasons for your absence, you are liable to be withdrawn from the course, and your place may be offered to a new student.

WAITING LISTS FOR COURSES If the course you want is full, you can ask to be put on a waiting list. You will then be informed if a place becomes available. Please note, however, that you will only be held on a waiting list until the end of the term in which you apply.
