I agree that 800Euros is far too high for an assessment for the privilege of paying a massive amount towards a course. Crazy, it's just pencil and paper stuff with a few a Computer based things (I'm guessing I've never attended) but nevertheless regardless of the format it's not value for money.
Buying a house costing far more than this occurs legal and administrative costs when considering purchases in the £100s of thousands. This and no doubt other agencies are turning it into from a business into a jack the lad game.
There's always an alternative if you look hard enough.
