Just remember in regard to courses, its a perishable skill. You don't do a course and get a cert that "lasts" for a decade.
Improving your standard of riding or driving is a life long commitment, constantly analysing what you're doing etc, otherwise its easy to let bad habits creep in (just like the cat mentions, why focus on those silly things like stopping at stop signs, we want skid control! - when it's actually safer to avoid the skid in the first place)...
It's also those basics like head checks and safe following distances that prevent the incidents... how many times do you see on motorway patrol or similar, a person being interviewed, and their idea of what happened is something like: the car in front just suddenly stopped, I had nowhere to go! They are at fault! ... grrr

Good points there Rastus. I'd not really considered your third point there about what sort of training it is that people want but now that you've mentioned it that does make sense.
I recently did another RE Gold course over in Nelson - They aren't my usual riding routes so the course was perhaps of more benefit and the slow speed stuff showed me that I need to practice that more often
