Don't sweat the course work. You will need to do some study of course but it's not really bad. We had a 34 year old woman in our course with no aviation background and if she can get through it then anyone can.
Class sizes are between 8 and 12 and Brisbane is a great place to be. You get to know the instructors well.
Don't sweat being in an information black hole. Once you get here you will get all the info you need. Doubt sweat out and just play what's in front of you
