the two I've done - Jancis Robinson's Wine course and Peter Jones' toolkit for entrepreneurs - have been exemplary - clear, full of content, full of insights, and delivered with style and engagement.

I don't know, my course of Jonathan Yeo's portrait painting doesn't start until the end of January so I am in no position to give a review

The variety of courses means there is something for everyone. The quality of the courses is second to none with incredibly talented people in their fields presenting what they have learned over time. The videos are great for those of us who are auditory learners and the pdfs are great to reinforce the lessons, to look back on and to make notes on. I especially enjoy the courses that have actions to take after a lesson so you get a chance to apply what has been taught in the lesson. If you are wanting to learn something new or to deepen your knowledge of something you love, I would highly recommend you purchase a course. Alternatively, subscribe for a year and dip into any of the courses on offer. Unbeatable value.

Alan Moore’s Maestroclass is excellently written (no surprise there) and presented by that very gentleman Warlock… Highly recommended ..

Haven't really got into my course yet due to xmas. But, what I have read so far sounds easy to follow, and I can't wait till I can get more into it. I love the notes section and nice that I can go back and read it when I need help. Diffentley will try another cooking course but not to many to choose from for my liking. Wish mine would have more recipes.

I've been writing in the last few years of my 33 years in a cult. Only recently have I attempted fiction and discovered Harlan Coben who I've been reading and enjoying for many years. His lessons have been so valuable and have not only helped me continue my work of fiction but complete my other non-fiction work.

I enjoy listening to people who have succeeded in their fields of endeavour. I also enjoy the variety of views on the same subject. I'm watching Alan Moore and Harlan Coben who have different approaches to writing. This helped open my mind to not be narrowly focused on a particular style of writing.

I found the Lee Child course extremely useful. It’s not completely for someone who is a beginner, but I think it will help them. It’s easy to follow. He makes excellent points about the writing process. It doesn’t matter wha fiction you are writing commercial or literary fiction, it is going to be hard work. He deals with the central issues that all writers have grappled with and he does it in an easy accessible style. Very enjoyable.

The novel writing course with Harlan Coben exceeded my expectations. I've been working on my novel for a few months, and Harlan's presentation has undoubtedly elevated not only the technical aspects but I understand so much more about my, and my character's, motivations. I've been a broadcast journalist for 30 years and Harlan Coben is a natural and gifted presenter of information who's not afraid to throw out conventions. Highly recommended

I am interested in the creative writing parts of this portal and have been through JoJo Moyes's course about writing love stories. What a gem of the course for the beginners and even for those published writers. She is humble, sincere, warm, and so close to anyone who wants to learn from her. Her insight into every aspect of her character's life is the insight into everyone's life. I have read three of her books, and I laughed and cried, and I lived with Louise and her and Will's story, and Sam's conundrum with the shoes and the friendship brought those women together through their drama. For me, the depth of her characters and the love stories with a solid psychological fabric are things I learn from. I bought six of her books and have read Me Before You, Me After You and Someone Else's Shoes.

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.
