Good product but learning experience needs to be better. I've been using it on and off for a year, found it handy to dip in and out of lessons. Affordable way to get taught from experts in their field. Felt the video search tools could be better and pdf course notes are clunky to use on a mobile device.

I really love this course. I made the baguette for the first time last weekend and they came out so delicious. I'm going to try my hand at them again. Thanks for providing such a great course by such an experienced teacher!

I really like the content and the scope of this app however the costing is very heavy ! I will sadly not be renewing on that basis as I do not see how the cost relates to the value of the content.

A great way to learn. I can replay as often as I need to ensure I am following the bread making techniques accurately.

Not that impressed. Paid for the single course option, the Introduction to Photography. It has been quite dissapointing, as an introduction to photography, with very little time spent on the technical aspects that I would have expected in an introductory course - which would be more beneficial than anecdotes about Rankin's career or the presence of guest (co) presenters spinning yarns about their career. Generally, a bit dissapointing

I didn't like the drawing course, and would like my money back. The course was like a promotion of the teacher and there was no practicality of teaching drawing in it

Complete waste of time and money! I did the sleep maestro and I didn’t learn a thing know already and she waffled in about why we need to sleep but not how to overcome difficulties. Didn’t help me at all…might as well have flushed the money down the loo! Not impressed at all.

The courses are easy to follow and full of expertise. It is like having a mentor who is at the top of their field, sharing skills and knowledge. This is an enjoyable way to learn in bite-size lessons, full of great information.

What I like is each episode is bite size and you can take your time. Expert tuition makes you think and you are challenged gently so you move forward. Thoroughly enjoying it.

I have totally enjoyed Carol Ann Duffy's class on Poetry Writing. She is clear, brilliant, modest, humorous -- she connects. She's taken my understanding of poetry in new directions, and made deeper connections. One of the best courses I've ever taken.

Many writers i respect recommended Alan Moore's course and I'm so glad I watched it. He is an amazing storyteller and an engaging lecturer. I laughed out loud several times and love that though he is best known for a certain type of genre and medium in comics, he has a huge range of books that he uses as examples. I added so much to the TBR pile, including many authors I've never heard of before. There's a lot of practical advice here, told in a memorable way, and I think beginning and more experienced writers can learn something new.
