Once again (I've been before), I found that I was exposed to a huge amount of information in a very short time - all excellent, but I do need to go away and work through the material slowly in my own time.

The only slight feedback is that every once in a while the audio was a tiny bit laggy, apart from that the course was brilliant. Tim had extensive knowledge on every field we asked him about. There is no feedback I could give about the actual course because I learned so much. I will definitely be booking on to the advanced course soon.
