All very interesting. I would not take on someone just because they were recommended to me by a previous student. I assess people's potential based on what I see when they come to meet me. I do not advertise but I am always booked up several months in advance because I have a good reputation for providing a thorough and good quality course. It is not cheap but I do try to save money for my students by being fair. If you want a cheap course with no hard work my course is not for you. If you want to be guaranteed employment because all my students get jobs before they finish the course then it is worth talking to me. But you will not be guaranteed to get on my course.
