The course is brilliant - I would say the tutors need to work on engaging the class more. The content is very varied so there'll normally be something for everyone. It's also great at being flexible, as the course is split very neatly into chunks that suit some, and others that suit others. Great course, well attended, and a good crowd of people to meet.
