I was wondering if you could give me information on online course *on offer*.
Can I replace that with "available"?


Which hair saloon does he work *for*?
Can I replace it with *at*?

Thanks to you all ~

1. If you saw "on offer" in an advertisement, it means offered to the public, so "available" works, too.

2. A saloon is a pub, a bar, a place to drink and maybe dance or hear music. A salon is a place where hair and nails are taken care of.

You could use either "for" or "at" in your sentence. The "for" asks more about the employer while the "at" asks more about the location.

"Which salon does he work for?" "Super Cuts."

"Which salon does he work at?" "The one at Flower and Main."
