"Superb location for study. No distractions. Great food and other supplies. Really friendly and helpful lecturer who assisted us all throughout the course. Recommend pre-study and you have to understand that this is not a holiday camp. You will be studying for many, many hours each day. My hours were 8am through 11pm, even though the course states less.. but is it well worth the hardship. "
