I have been to the 2 day course in Australia and unlike the other poster from Aus, I (and the other guys) found it really interesting and valuable. Sure, Tim Tucker likes to tell a few stories about himself - but a) with his background surely that's allowed ! and b) it makes the whole process more interesting.
The Q&A sessions were great as well.
I am led to believe that the Bell course is the best, but that's too far away for me to fly in my helicopter !
Highly recommended.
