“I very much appreciate the sessions with Chef Marco Pierre White. A true poet of the palate! I hope to find, as I am from the other side of the Atlantic, recipes for some real British desserts so if you are thinking of putting on the show with any jellies et al. do let me know.”
“I didn't know about the platform until I saw author Harlan Coben's course advertised on Instagram. It was easy and uncomplicated to purchase the course and use the platform. So far só good.”
“Finally, a content to learn what you like the most from the most successful people. The fact that these same unique people do the course gives a lot of veracity of the potential that the courses have. Hopefully more will come in the future.”
“I've only taken one course, the magnificent course by Harlan Coben, one of the few authors whose book I buy every year on the day it is released. I'm amazed by his ability to keep me entertained for a day or two until i finish his latest creation. His characters are so well developed, his plot lines are twisty and fun and his pacing is flawless. I even love his young adult novels and"Shelter" on Amazon Prime. Very disappointed there will not be a Season 2.”
“I’ve only just started the Jojo Moyes course but I absolutely love it. Easy to access, easy to use, well thought through and personally I love the notes even more than the videos!”
“I am writing a novel and make time each week to listen to some lessons from these masters. Ken Follett's sessions have covered reflections on what makes a brilliant first line to practical advice on how to get an agent. I have a year's subscription to the lot and I am learning more every time I listen. It makes you feel part of the community, in with the writers' trials and tribulations and supported.”
“I purchased this as a gift for my husband to access the Vineet Bhatia classes as we have his books .
We are both enjoying watching the cooking lessons which are excellent.
However we are now so excited to view other presenters on the platform and to keep extending our learning and knowledge in other areas too.
We would recommend this for all ages and all people. Just such a fab platform and affordable gift idea too excellent value for money .”
“I´m in love with the BBC Maestro courses.
Initially, I wanted to buy a course for my husband. Then, I saw the available courses and subscribed for an annual ride. Once I started looking inside the platform, I was hooked.
Excellent themes, teachers, and courses. Every course is more delicious than the previous.”
“There's a wide variety of classes offered by famous authors, chefs and others. All accompanied by comprehensive guide book with exercises and lesson notes. Plenty of classes and topics to explore.”
“I finished the course recently and loved it- I’m going to go back and listen to it all again- it’s such a comfort and I learned soo much, I will take all I’ve learned going forward in my life, it’s such a valuable course”
“BBC Maestro gives access to top-of-the-range participants giving suggestions and advice honed over decades of commercial success.
If only I didn't keep thinking of an old and rattling Austin Maestro car whenever I log in to BBC Maestro. It's a cream colour and has rust spots everywhere. It leaks when it rains.”
“If you've ever dreamt of writing a book then this is all your dreams come true. The novelists on the courses are world class and they not only impart their vast knowledge but they know exactly how to motivate you to get writing. Couldn't be happier with BBC Maestro. Buy it now you won't regret it and you'll be on the bookshelves soon.”
“I retired from work at the end of 2019. Now I have time to pursue numerous interests. It is a great time to be alive, because there are so many excellent resources for learning. So I do not have to "dig it out of the ground" each time I find a new endeavor. I was intrigued by the idea of making sourdough bread and in exploring this, decided to get a real bread baking foundation. The course by Mr. Berneti fills that bill completely. So much information! Plus, there really is a lot to be said for a visual demonstration to accompany text. No matter how many times I read about "stretch slap and fold" it was made clearer on the video.”
“I am learning more about Poetry with Carol Ann Duffy. She is so inspiring. She makes every day come alive. She inspires you.
Taking the BBC Maestro class has given me a new joy in my life. This is what life is about. To think about the positive. To celebrate life. To give you the excuse to do what you have always wanted to do.”
