       PCTE Courses at University College of Wales, Aberystwyth
       --------------------------------------------------------


Regular courses are being held at the University College of Wales,
Aberystwyth.  Emphasis is placed on gaining practical experience with
the environment, especially in the area of the Object Management
System.

The course, which lasts three days, gives detailed instruction on the
Object Management System, the Basic Mechanisms and Distribution
aspects of the environment.  All parts of the course are supported by
practical sessions that provide the participants with `hands-on'
experience.

Following the three day intensive course, we have recently introduced
a one-day workshop where participants work on supervised projects
designed to test their understanding of the concepts covered in the
previous days.  This has proved to be very successful.

The next courses are scheduled starting:
         September 24, 1990.
         December 10, 1990.

An outline of the timetable is given below and illustrates the
