I am drawing to the end of module 2 with BGS, and I can say that I am pleased with the course. I have mostly worked from the notes for both modules, but I have used the computer program to look at the complex diagrams, such as engines, electrics etc. It helped no end. I also travel quite a lot on business, and have installed a second copy of the program on my work laptop. This has proved useful too.
In addition, I have done all the progress tests via the computer, being able to email the results, and get instant feedback. For those impatient as me, this facility is worth its weight in gold.
I would advise people to go to the Flyer show in November, where Alex will have all the notes for you to leaf through, and you can see the CD in action. It will also serve as a means by which to look at the other schools for comparison.
I actually drove down to Bristol (a 400 miles round-trip for me) to see Alex in person, and he took me through the notes, and CD. I think it would be a great mistake to rule out the school based on your perception of inadequate selling. If I were you, I would phone the school, and speak with Alex. When I was there for my module 1, he seemed to field a great many telephone enquiries, as well as seeing people coming in off the street.
PM me if you wish.
