Can't be bothered scrolling back but the person asking for course details and comparisons, I suggest you get in touch with pro rider. Very helpful folk.
Non of the courses I have attended have had more than 4 riders so lots of scope to focus on each rider. IIRC we were asked to list 3 things we individually wanted to focus on when we planned the gold course. On the day our instructor addressed our requests in a class room environment, one on one, and continued to do so for the rest of the day on the road. The instructor is a full time popo, sacrificed his Sunday off to look after us numptys and had done his homework. Exceptional training IMHO.
Something else that cropped up during our riding was the odd stop to highlight information left on the road. I thought my road craft was pretty good but our instructor pointed out stuff like the shading of white lines on corners which indicated people frequently crossing the centre line and some other gems. Most impressed I was. And knackered, it was a big day.
