Looks like it comes down to what kind of student you think you will be then. However without a site like this a student would just end up going somewhere, if they liked it continuing there and never knowing a difference until they were experienced enough to have worked it all out.
Can be confusing but i can see where everyones opinion comes from. Its settled for me i think. Trial at Tatenhill and also a CVT school. Two total contrasts X 2 hours in the book and then ill know
best of both worlds i hope !
