madgav - how much will the two radio tests cost at the place you are at? That price should be deducted from the cost of the course - as the course fee includes them.
Anywhere near half the price now?
The course is, actually, only £20 per hour (assuming Whopity's 16 hours) even if you don't include the two exams.
Not bad, really (though I appreciate that any £'s are difficult just now).
