anyone know anything about this? 500 euro? Looking at the modules, and based over 10 weeks, would it not be just as good to do a fetac accredited course with local community station?

I did this course. It was very good and informative.
The of course we got the demos and certs and a heap of contacts from it.
I got work experience in two different stations involved afterwards as well and one of the lads on the course I was on is also doing a bit of work part-time in one of the other stations involved in the course..
I know the price seems alot but it's worth it I think
